Overview
HTS Code 8422.30.91.91 covers machinery for filling, closing, sealing, capsuling, or labeling boxes, bags, or similar containers, which are not otherwise specified within this heading. This residual category is crucial for ensuring complete classification, capturing a diverse range of packaging and filling equipment that falls outside the more precisely defined sibling categories. Examples could include machines that perform a combination of filling and sealing operations on mixed types of containers not specifically addressed, or specialized machinery for unique sealing methods applied to boxes or bags.
This classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories such as 8422.30.91.80 (machines for opening, filling, and closing bags) and 8422.30.91.85 (machines for forming, filling, and sealing bags/pouches) by encompassing a broader spectrum of container types and operational functions that are not limited to bags or pouches. It also differs from 8422.30.91.86 (machines for opening, filling, and closing boxes) and 8422.30.91.87 (machines for skin and blister packaging) by including operations beyond those specifically identified for boxes or blister packaging.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 8422.30.91.91. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on ensuring that the machinery in question does not meet the more specific criteria of any preceding subheadings within 8422.30, and that it performs filling, closing, sealing, capsuling, or labeling operations on box, bag, or similar container formats. Careful consideration of the primary function and the specific type of container being processed is essential for accurate classification into this "Other" category.
