Overview
This HTS classification, 8422.30.91.40, encompasses a specific subset of machinery designed for filling containers. These machines are dedicated to the precise operation of introducing a product into a bottle, can, or similar receptacle, and may also be capable of performing other ancillary operations related to this primary function. This category is distinct from sibling entries such as "Vacuum or gas packaging" (8422.30.91.30), which focuses on creating a vacuum or inert atmosphere within packaging, rather than the act of filling itself.
The machines classified under 8422.30.91.40 are characterized by their primary role in liquid, powder, granular, or other bulk material dispensing into containers. This includes, but is not limited to, machines for filling beverages, food products, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals. The key defining feature is the direct deposition of the product into the receptacle, differentiating it from machinery that primarily seals, caps, or labels existing filled containers.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category hinges on the machine's primary and predominant function being the filling of bottles, cans, or similar containers, potentially with secondary integrated operations. The absence of further subcategories means that all machines primarily dedicated to filling operations, and not falling under more specific sibling classifications, will be classified here.
