Overview
HTS Code 8420.91.90.00 classifies "Other" cylinders intended for use with calendering or other rolling machines, excluding those specifically designed for the metal or glass industries. These cylinders are integral components of machinery used to smooth, polish, or impart a specific finish to various materials. This broad category encompasses cylinders that do not fall under the more specific classifications for textile calendering or machines producing paper pulp, paper, or paperboard.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8420.91.10.00 and 8420.91.20.00, is crucial. The former covers cylinders exclusively for textile machinery, while the latter pertains to cylinders used in machines for manufacturing paper and paperboard. Therefore, 8420.91.90.00 applies to cylinders for calendering or rolling machines used in other industries, such as plastics, rubber, leather, or general material finishing, where the specific applications differ from textiles or paper production.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this heading requires careful consideration of the primary intended use of the cylinder and the type of machinery it is designed to operate within. When a cylinder's design or application does not align with the specialized categories for textile or paper-related calendering, it is appropriately classified under this residual "other" heading.
