Overview
This category, HTS Code 8208.40.30.00, specifically classifies lawnmower blades. These are cutting blades designed for use with machines or mechanical appliances, and are exclusively for lawnmowers. The blades are characterized by their form and function, intended for the cutting of grass. They are made of base metal, consistent with the broader scope of Chapter 82.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8208.40.60.00, which covers "Other" blades for agricultural, horticultural, or forestry machines, including their parts. While both fall under blades for agricultural and horticultural machines, 8208.40.30.00 is highly specific to lawnmower blades, whereas the sibling category encompasses a broader range of less specific blades or parts for other types of machines within this agricultural/horticultural grouping.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8208.40.30.00 is definitive for dedicated lawnmower blades. When classifying, confirm the intended use of the blade is solely for lawnmower operation and that it is manufactured from base metal.
