8302.49.60.35 - Pneumatic cylinders for lifting, lowering, dampening or counterbalancing 🖩

This HTS category, 8302.49.60.35, specifically classifies pneumatic cylinders designed for operational functions such as lifting, lowering, dampening, or counterbalancing. These are specialized mechanisms that utilize compressed air to generate force or control movement, often integrated into larger systems or equipment. The defining characteristic is their pneumatic operation and their intended purpose within machinery or structures for specific motion control.

While this category falls under "Other mountings, fittings and similar articles" at a broader level, its specificity lies in the *pneumatic* actuation and *functional purpose* (lifting, lowering, etc.). Other sibling categories at this level, if they existed, would likely cover different types of non-pneumatic fittings or general-purpose mechanical components. The critical distinction is the engineered application of air pressure for controlled mechanical action.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification at this level is determined by the product's inherent pneumatic functionality and its intended use for lifting, lowering, dampening, or counterbalancing. Therefore, items that are mechanically actuated or have a different primary function, even if made of base metal like iron, steel, aluminum, or zinc, would not fall under this specific code.
