8429.52.50.10 - New

This HTS category, 8429.52.50.10, specifically classifies new mechanical shovels, excavators, and shovel loaders that are equipped with a 360-degree revolving superstructure. These machines are designed for earthmoving and material handling operations, featuring a distinct upper structure that can rotate independently of the undercarriage, allowing for versatile operation without repositioning the entire vehicle. The emphasis on "new" signifies that these are factory-built, unused machines.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 8429.52.50.90, is straightforward: this classification is exclusively for new equipment. The sibling category encompasses used or rebuilt machines of the same type, which are classified separately due to differences in their condition and potential wear and tear, impacting their value and intended use.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification criteria solely revolve around the machine's function as a mechanical shovel, excavator, or shovel loader, its 360-degree revolving superstructure, and its status as new equipment.
