8407.90.10 - To be installed in agricultural or horticultural machinery or equipment

This classification covers spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines that are specifically designed and intended for installation in agricultural or horticultural machinery and equipment. These engines are characterized by their use in power-generating applications within the agricultural sector, such as for tractors, harvesters, cultivators, sprayers, and other specialized farming or gardening machinery. The key defining feature is their intended end-use and integration into such equipment, distinguishing them from engines intended for other general-purpose or industrial applications.

Within the broader category of "Other engines" under 8407, this specific sub-heading (8407.90.10) is distinct from its sibling, 8407.90.90, which covers all other spark-ignition engines not intended for agricultural or horticultural machinery. Therefore, the classification hinges on the direct applicability and intended integration of the engine into agricultural or horticultural equipment, rather than its technical specifications alone.

This category is further subdivided to refine the classification based on engine power output. The subcategories will differentiate engines based on whether their power output does not exceed 37.3 kW or falls into an "Other" category for higher power outputs. This distinction is important for statistical reporting and potentially for duty rate determination, acknowledging the different power requirements of various agricultural and horticultural machinery.
