8425.49.00.00 - Other

HTS Code 8425.49.00.00, described as "Other," encompasses jacks and hoists used for raising vehicles that do not fall under the more specific subcategories within heading 8425.4. This classification serves as a residual category for such lifting devices.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8425.41.00.00, which specifically covers built-in jacking systems designed for garage use, typically integrated into vehicle repair infrastructure. It also differs from 8425.42.00.00, which is reserved for other jacks and hoists that operate on a hydraulic principle. Therefore, 8425.49.00.00 would apply to mechanical jacks or hoists that are not built-in systems and are not hydraulic in their operation.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8425.49.00.00. Classification within this code is determined by the exclusion of goods from the more narrowly defined categories for vehicle-lifting jacks and hoists. Practical classification will rely on the specific mechanism of operation (e.g., screw jacks, lever-operated hoists) and their primary intended use for raising vehicles.
