8424.41.10.00 - Sprayers (except sprayers, self-contained, having a capacity not over 20 liters)

This HTS category, 8424.41.10.00, specifically covers portable sprayers designed for agricultural or horticultural use, with a self-contained capacity not exceeding 20 liters. These devices are characterized by their handheld or easily transportable nature and their primary function of projecting liquids or powders for crop treatment, pest control, or general garden maintenance. Examples include manual garden sprayers, battery-powered backpack sprayers, and hand-pump sprayers within the specified volume limit.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8424.41.90.00 ("Other"), which would encompass agricultural or horticultural sprayers that do not meet the criteria for portable, self-contained units with a capacity not exceeding 20 liters. This might include larger, wheeled sprayers or those requiring external power sources or larger reservoirs not integrated into the portable unit. The defining factor for 8424.41.10.00 is the portability and limited self-contained capacity, allowing for convenient application in fields, gardens, or greenhouses.

As this node represents a leaf within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions within this specific code will rely on careful examination of the physical attributes of the sprayer, its intended use in agricultural or horticultural contexts, and adherence to the 20-liter self-contained capacity limitation.
