Overview
This HTS classification, 8429.51.10.25, specifically covers new, wheel-type front-end shovel loaders that are integral tractor shovel loaders with a rear engine mounting and four-wheel drive. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is their bucket capacity, which must be at least 1.5 cubic meters but strictly under 2.2 cubic meters. These machines are designed for earthmoving and material handling tasks, typically featuring a front-mounted bucket on a tractor-like chassis.
This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its precise bucket capacity range. For instance, 8429.51.10.15 classifies loaders with buckets under 1.5 cubic meters, while 8429.51.10.30 covers those with capacities of at least 2.2 cubic meters but under 2.9 cubic meters. Therefore, accurate measurement and verification of the bucket's volumetric capacity are crucial for correct classification.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined solely by the specific technical specifications of the shovel loader, namely its design as an integral tractor shovel loader, rear engine mounted, four-wheel drive, and its bucket capacity falling within the 1.5 m3 to 2.2 m3 range.
