8423.89 - Other:

HTS Code 8423.89 encompasses "Other" weighing machinery that does not fall into the specific capacity-defined subcategories of 8423.81 (not exceeding 30 kg) or 8423.82 (exceeding 30 kg but not exceeding 5,000 kg). This classification is for weighing machines with a maximum weighing capacity *greater than* 5,000 kg, or those whose capacity is not specified or easily determinable within the defined ranges. These machines are designed for industrial, commercial, or specialized applications requiring the measurement of very heavy loads.

Distinguished from its siblings, 8423.89 covers weighing equipment that exceeds the capacity limits of the other categories within 8423.8. For example, it would include large-scale industrial scales used in mining, shipping, or manufacturing for weighing bulk materials, vehicles, or heavy equipment, which are beyond the scope of scales designed for retail or smaller production environments.

Within this category, two primary subcategories exist to further refine classification. 8423.89.10.00 specifically applies to weighing machinery that utilizes electronic means for gauging the weight. Conversely, 8423.89.90.00 is reserved for all other weighing machinery in this "other" capacity range that does not employ electronic gauging, such as purely mechanical or analog systems, or those where the gauging mechanism is not primarily electronic.
