8423.82.00.10 - Digital electronic type

This category encompasses digital electronic weighing machinery designed for a specific capacity range. It includes scales and balances that utilize electronic components to determine weight, operating within a maximum capacity exceeding 30 kilograms but not exceeding 5,000 kilograms. These machines are typically employed in industrial, commercial, or retail settings where accurate measurement of medium to large quantities is required, such as in manufacturing, logistics, or bulk retail operations. Examples include platform scales, pallet scales, and certain types of retail scales that fall within this defined weight range and utilize digital electronic technology.

This specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling, 8423.82.00.50 "Other," by the explicit exclusion of non-digital or mechanical weighing instruments and those falling outside the specified maximum weighing capacity. While sibling categories might encompass analog scales or digital scales with different weight limits, this classification is precisely for digital electronic types within the 30 kg to 5,000 kg band. The defining characteristic is the combination of digital electronic functionality and this particular weight capacity.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on correctly identifying weighing machinery that is digital electronic in type and meets the stipulated weight threshold. Classification hinges on the confirmed presence of digital electronic mechanisms for weight determination and verification that the maximum weighing capacity falls squarely within the defined parameters.
