8422.90.91.60 - Of other wrapping and packaging machines

This HTS classification, 8422.90.91.60, encompasses parts specifically designed for "other" wrapping and packaging machines. This broad category applies to components used in machinery that performs wrapping or packaging functions not explicitly covered by more specific subheadings within the 8422.90.91 series. Examples of such machines might include those for forming, filling, and sealing various types of bags or pouches, or machines that individually wrap individual food items or other products where the wrapping action is not akin to strapping or specific container sealing operations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 8422.90.91.30 specifically covers parts for strapping machines, which are used to apply bands or straps around packages. Conversely, 8422.90.91.95 is a residual category for any other parts of packing or wrapping machines not otherwise specified. Therefore, 8422.90.91.60 is intended for parts of machines whose primary function is to apply a flexible material (like film, paper, or foil) to enclose or protect a product, but which do not involve strapping or other residual packing functions.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. The classification of a part under 8422.90.91.60 hinges on its direct integration into, and essential function for, an "other" type of wrapping or packaging machine. The nature of the part (e.g., a feeding mechanism, a sealing roller, a cutting blade) will be specific to the unique operation of the parent machine it serves, differentiating it from parts used in strapping or other more specifically defined packaging machinery.
