Overview

HTS category 8422 encompasses a broad range of machinery designed for various container processing and packaging operations. This includes automated dishwashing machines, crucial for institutional and industrial settings. Additionally, it covers specialized equipment for cleaning and drying bottles and other containers, preparing them for subsequent filling or reuse. The scope extends to machinery involved in the intricate processes of filling, closing, sealing, and labeling a wide array of containers, from bottles and cans to boxes and bags. It also includes machinery for applying caps, as well as equipment for aerating beverages, highlighting its role in the beverage industry.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which often focus on live animals or other fundamental goods, 8422 is exclusively concerned with industrial and commercial machinery for specific mechanical operations. Unlike machinery in other sections of Chapter 84 that might perform general manufacturing or assembly tasks, the machinery within 8422 is specifically engineered for the handling, preparation, and packaging of containers and their contents, particularly in food, beverage, and consumer product sectors.

Within HTS 8422, the subcategories provide a granular breakdown of these diverse functions. 8422.20.00.00 specifically addresses cleaning and drying equipment, while 8422.30 delves into filling, closing, sealing, labeling, and capsuling machinery, as well as beverage aerators. The broader category of "Other packing or wrapping machinery," including heat-shrink wrapping, is detailed under 8422.40, indicating a separate focus on final packaging stages. Finally, 8422.90 is dedicated to the essential parts and accessories for all machinery classified within this heading, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
