Overview
This HTS category, 8425.39.01.00, encompasses winches and capstans that are not powered by an electric motor. It covers a broad range of manual or engine-driven devices designed for winding ropes, cables, or chains, primarily for hauling, towing, or anchoring. This includes hand-cranked winches, those powered by internal combustion engines, or hydraulic systems, as long as an electric motor is not the sole source of power.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 8425.31.01.00, which specifically covers winches and capstans powered by an electric motor. Therefore, to correctly classify a winch or capstan, the primary means of propulsion is the decisive factor. If an electric motor is the driving force, it falls under 8425.31.01.00. If another power source is used, or if the device is manually operated, it would be classified under this category.
As a leaf node, 8425.39.01.00 does not have further subdivisions. Classification within this code relies on the determination that the product is a winch or capstan and is not electrically powered. Examples might include marine winches used for anchoring or lifting small boats, manual towing winches for vehicles, or industrial capstans used for moving railcars or barges, provided their operation is not reliant on an electric motor.
