Overview
This HTS code, 8414.80.16.90, falls under the broader category of air compressors and specifically pertains to "Other" portable air compressors. This classification is designed to capture portable air compressors that do not fit into the more specific sub-category of those with a capacity under 0.57 cubic meters per minute. Therefore, it encompasses portable air compressors with a volumetric flow rate equal to or exceeding 0.57 cubic meters per minute, serving a wide range of industrial, construction, and professional applications.
The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the volumetric capacity. While sibling category 8414.80.16.85 is explicitly for portable air compressors with a capacity below 0.57 cubic meters per minute, this code covers those with capacities at or above that threshold. The "Other" designation indicates that it is the residual category for portable air compressors that are not otherwise specified by more granular subheadings.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on determining the unit's portability and then measuring its volumetric flow rate to differentiate it from the preceding sibling category. Factors such as the presence of integrated wheels, handles, or a skid-mounted design are typically considered when assessing portability, in conjunction with the specified capacity threshold.
