Overview
HTS code 8425.11.00.00 specifically covers pulley tackle and hoists that are powered by an electric motor. This category encompasses a range of lifting devices where the primary motive force for operation is derived from an electrical source. Examples include electric chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists, and other electrically driven winches designed for vertical or inclined lifting applications. The key distinguishing feature is the presence of an electric motor as the sole or primary means of powering the hoisting mechanism.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8425.19.00.00 ("Other"), which covers pulley tackle and hoists that are not powered by an electric motor. Sibling 8425.19.00.00 would therefore include manually operated hoists (e.g., hand chain hoists) or hoists powered by other means, such as internal combustion engines or pneumatic power. The determination between these two categories hinges directly on the type of power source utilized to operate the lifting machinery.
As 8425.11.00.00 is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is solely on identifying pulley tackle and hoists that meet the criteria of being powered by an electric motor. The scope is limited to these electrically driven lifting devices, excluding any that operate on alternative power sources or fall under different machinery chapters.
