8423.20.90.00 - Other

This category, HTS 8423.20.90.00, encompasses weighing machinery specifically designed for continuous weighing of goods transported on conveyors, when such machinery does not utilize electronic means for gauging weights. This exclusion is key, differentiating it from its sibling category which focuses on electronic systems. Therefore, this classification applies to mechanical or electromechanical weighing systems that operate while goods are in motion on a conveyor belt or similar apparatus.

The primary purpose of these machines is to accurately measure the weight of goods as they pass, often used for inventory control, batching, or process monitoring in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and bulk material handling. Unlike batch weighing systems that measure discrete quantities, these scales are built for continuous flow applications, providing a constant weight reading or totalizing weight over time.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8423.20.90.00. Classification within this heading is determined by the absence of electronic weight gauging mechanisms and the specific application to continuous weighing on conveyors. Any other type of weighing machinery not fitting the criteria for continuous conveyor weighing or electronic gauging would be classified elsewhere within heading 8423.
