8432.41.00.00 - Manure spreaders

This HTS category, 8432.41.00.00, specifically covers **manure spreaders**. These are mechanical devices designed for the even distribution of farmyard manure, compost, and other organic soil conditioners across agricultural fields. Their primary function is to deposit these bulky materials, often in a less refined state, onto the soil surface for subsequent incorporation.

Manure spreaders are distinguished from their sibling category, fertilizer distributors (8432.42.00.00), by the type and form of material they are designed to handle. While fertilizer distributors are typically intended for the application of granular or powdered chemical fertilizers, manure spreaders are engineered to manage the more challenging physical characteristics of manure, which can include solid lumps, semi-solids, and a higher moisture content. This often involves robust mechanisms for breaking up and ejecting the material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 8432.41.00.00 relies on confirming that the machinery's primary design and operational purpose is the spreading of manure, aligning with the broad scope of agricultural machinery for soil preparation and cultivation.
