8205.70.00.90 - Other (including parts)

This HTS category, 8205.70.00.90, encompasses "Other" vises, clamps, and similar holding devices, including their parts, that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the broader HTS code 8205. This generally includes a wide array of portable or bench-mounted fixtures designed to securely hold workpieces for various tasks, such as woodworking, metalworking, or assembly. The key characteristic is their function in providing a stable grip, facilitating precision or safety during operations.

This category is distinct from the sibling category, which specifically addresses "Vises." While "Vises" are a primary example of holding devices, this "Other" category captures a broader spectrum of clamping mechanisms that may not fit the typical vise configuration. This could include specialized jigs, bench dogs, quick-release clamps, C-clamps, spring clamps, and other manual or semi-automatic holding devices that serve a similar purpose but differ in design or primary function from a traditional vise.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8205.70.00.90 hinges on determining that the goods are indeed vises, clamps, or similar holding devices of base metal, and that they do not fall under more specific enumerations within heading 8205 or other relevant headings. The inclusion of "parts thereof" signifies that components intended for these holding devices are also classified here.
