8432.29.00 - Other

HTS code 8432.29.00 covers harrows, scarifiers, cultivators, weeders, and hoes that are not disc harrows. This broad category encompasses a range of implements designed for soil preparation and cultivation. These tools are primarily used to break up, aerate, or mix soil, remove weeds, and prepare seedbeds. The key distinguishing factor for inclusion in this code, as opposed to its sibling category 8432.21.00.00, is the absence of a disc-like cutting mechanism as the primary means of soil engagement.

Within this classification, the primary distinction lies in the function and design of the tines or blades. While disc harrows utilize rotating discs, the items classified under 8432.29.00 employ various other mechanisms for soil manipulation. This includes implements with tines (like cultivators and scarifiers) that penetrate and break up soil, or blades designed for cutting and uprooting weeds and for general hoeing tasks.

This heading is further subdivided to provide more specific classification. The subcategory 8432.29.00.90 is designated for "Other," indicating that any item fitting the general description of a harrow, scarifier, cultivator, weeder, or hoe not explicitly covered by a more specific subheading within 8432.29 (if any existed) would fall here. This "Other" designation serves as a residual category for diverse implements that share the functional purpose of soil preparation and cultivation but do not align with more narrowly defined types.
