8429.51.10.45 - At least 5.2 m3 but under 7.6 m3

This HTS category, 8429.51.10.45, specifically classifies wheel-type, new, integral tractor shovel loaders with a rear engine mount and four-wheel drive, characterized by a bucket capacity of at least 5.2 cubic meters but under 7.6 cubic meters. These machines are designed for material handling operations, primarily loading, and are distinguished by their articulated frame and front-mounted loader bucket.

The critical distinguishing factor for this category is the precise volume of the loader's bucket. Unlike sibling categories that cover smaller bucket capacities, such as those under 1.5 m³ or between 3.8 m³ and 5.2 m³, this classification applies to significantly larger loaders. This distinction is crucial for customs purposes, reflecting the varying operational scale and intended applications of these heavy construction and material handling equipment.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this category represents the most granular classification for this specific type of wheel loader. Therefore, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8429.51.10.45 is solely determined by the machine meeting all the preceding criteria (wheel-type, new, integral tractor shovel loader, rear engine, four-wheel drive) and having a bucket capacity falling within the specified range of 5.2 m³ to 7.6 m³.
