8422.90.06.40 - Of the household type

This HTS category, 8422.90.06.40, specifically covers parts for dishwashing machines that are designed for household use. This designation distinguishes them from parts intended for industrial or commercial dishwashing equipment, which would fall under different HTS subheadings. The "Of the household type" descriptor implies that these parts are intended for machines typically found in residential kitchens, differing in size, capacity, and operational complexity from their commercial counterparts.

While the immediate sibling category, 8422.90.06.80, also covers "Other" parts of dishwashing machines, this particular subheading is reserved for those parts that are definitively identifiable as belonging to household appliances. For instance, this might include specific internal components like wash arms, spray nozzles, detergent dispensers, or control panel elements designed for domestic models. The distinction hinges on the intended application and the typical specifications of household versus commercial machinery.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8422.90.06.40. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on accurately identifying parts that are exclusively manufactured for or adapted to the needs and specifications of household dishwashing machines, ensuring they are distinct from parts used in larger-scale or industrial cleaning equipment.
