Overview
This HTS classification covers new front-end shovel loaders that are specifically defined by their engine power. Goods classified under 8429.51.50.40 are characterized by having an engine output of at least 93.2 kilowatts (kW) but less than 119.3 kilowatts (kW). These machines are designed for loading and excavation tasks, featuring a front-mounted bucket for material handling.
The distinction of this category from its siblings lies solely in its defined engine power range. For instance, it is differentiated from codes ending in .10, .20, and .30 by its higher minimum and maximum kilowatt thresholds, and from code .50 by its upper limit. This precise power specification is a key criterion for accurate classification, ensuring that similarly powered equipment is grouped together.
As a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, 8429.51.50.40 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code is final based on the criteria of being a new front-end shovel loader with an engine power between 93.2 kW and 119.3 kW. This excludes machines with lesser or greater engine power, or those that do not meet the definition of a front-end shovel loader within the context of Chapter 84.
