Overview
This HTS category, 8429.51.50.50, specifically classifies new front-end shovel loaders that possess a power output of 119.3 kW and over. These powerful machines are designed for heavy-duty earthmoving operations, characterized by their robust construction and high engine capacity. They are equipped with a front-mounted bucket that can both dig and load materials, making them versatile for construction sites, mining operations, and large-scale landscaping projects. The defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is the engine's power rating, which must meet or exceed the 119.3 kW threshold.
This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its significantly higher power output. While other front-end shovel loaders are classified based on power ranges from less than 44.7 kW up to, but not including, 119.3 kW, this specific node captures only those machines operating at the upper echelon of power capability. This distinction is crucial for customs purposes as it often correlates with the machine's intended use, size, and capacity for demanding tasks.
As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Classification into 8429.51.50.50 is final once the item is identified as a new front-end shovel loader with an engine power of 119.3 kW or greater. Therefore, the determination rests solely on verifying the machine's type and its official power rating as stated by the manufacturer.
