8429.51.10.35 - At least 2.9 m3 but under 3.8 m3

This HTS classification, 8429.51.10.35, specifically covers wheel-type, front-end shovel loaders that are new and feature an integral tractor design with the engine mounted in the rear. The defining characteristic for this category is the bucket capacity, which must be at least 2.9 cubic meters (m3) but less than 3.8 cubic meters. These machines are designed for loading and carrying loose materials such as soil, gravel, or debris, utilizing a front-mounted bucket for material handling.

The distinction of this category from its sibling categories lies solely in the precise measurement of the bucket's volumetric capacity. For instance, it is differentiated from 8429.51.10.30, which covers loaders with capacities of at least 2.2 m3 but under 2.9 m3, and from 8429.51.10.40, which encompasses loaders with capacities of at least 3.8 m3 but under 5.2 m3. Therefore, the precise volume of the shovel loader's bucket is the critical factor for correct classification at this level.

As this node is a leaf node, it has no further subcategories. All the defining characteristics for classification, including the type of machinery, its configuration, operational condition, and specifically its bucket capacity range, are fully established at this level. This means that a wheel-type, front-end shovel loader that meets all the preceding criteria and possesses a bucket capacity between 2.9 m3 and 3.8 m3 (exclusive of 3.8 m3) will be classified under 8429.51.10.35.
