8422.19.00.00 - Other

This category, 8422.19.00.00, encompasses "Other" dishwashing machines that do not fall under the specific classification for household dishwashers. It specifically includes industrial, commercial, and institutional dishwashing equipment designed for a wide range of applications beyond typical domestic use. This includes, but is not limited to, machines used in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, food processing plants, and catering services. The distinguishing factor is the scale of operation, robustness, and specialized features tailored for high-volume cleaning in professional settings.

Unlike its sibling category, 8422.11.00.00, which is exclusively for domestic dishwashing machines intended for household use, this category covers all other types of dishwashing machinery. The primary distinction lies in their intended use and operational capacity. Industrial dishwashers often feature more powerful washing cycles, higher temperature capabilities, and larger capacities to handle the demands of commercial environments.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8422.19.00.00 is determined by excluding goods that fit the description of household dishwashing machines. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the intended application and design specifications of the machinery to ensure accurate classification, focusing on whether the equipment is designed for commercial or industrial purposes rather than domestic convenience.
