8432.90.00.50 - Of harrows, scarifiers, cultivators, weeders and hoes

This HTS category, 8432.90.00.50, specifically classifies parts for a range of agricultural and horticultural machinery used for soil preparation and cultivation. This includes components and accessories designed for harrows, scarifiers, cultivators, weeders, and hoes. These are machines that break up, aerate, level, or remove weeds from the soil prior to planting or between crop rows. The classification hinges on the intended use and design of the part being for one of these enumerated implements.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, parts for plows, which are designed to turn over soil, are classified under 8432.90.00.40. Similarly, parts for seeders, planters, transplanters, and manure or fertilizer spreaders, which perform distinct functions of sowing or applying amendments, are found in 8432.90.00.60. Parts for other agricultural machinery not specifically listed elsewhere are categorized under 8432.90.00.81. Therefore, the key differentiator is the specific type of soil preparation or cultivation implement the part is intended for.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 8432.90.00.50. Classification at this level requires a clear identification of the machinery for which the part is designed. Examples of goods that would fall into this category include tines or teeth for cultivators, blades for weeders, frame components for scarifiers, or any other replacement or accessory part specifically manufactured for these types of machines.
