8424.90.20.00 - Of sand blasting machines

This HTS classification, 8424.90.20.00, specifically designates parts and accessories intended for use with sand blasting machines. These machines utilize a high-pressure stream of abrasive material, typically sand, to clean, shape, or prepare surfaces. Therefore, items classified here are components that facilitate or are integral to the operation of such sand blasting equipment, distinguishing them from general machinery parts.

Within the broader category of "Parts" for machinery under 8424, this subcategory is distinct from siblings such as parts of fire extinguishers (8424.90.05.00) or parts of simple piston pump sprays and powder bellows (8424.90.10.00). Unlike those, the goods covered here are exclusively designed for the sand blasting application, encompassing items like nozzles, hoses, blasting media containment systems, and control mechanisms specific to sand blasting operations. It also differs from the residual "Other" category (8424.90.90), which is reserved for parts not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 8424.90.20.00 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code relies on the clear identification of the part's function and direct applicability to sand blasting machinery. This ensures that all components integral to sand blasting equipment are correctly identified and accounted for under this specific heading, separate from parts for other types of jet projecting machines or spraying devices.
