8433.11.00.30 - 5.2 kW and over but under 7.46 kW

This HTS category, 8433.11.00.30, specifically classifies powered lawn mowers where the cutting device rotates horizontally and are of the riding mower type, excluding electric models. The defining characteristic for this particular subcategory is the motor output, which must be 5.2 kilowatts (kW) and over, but strictly under 7.46 kW. These machines are designed for the maintenance of larger grassy areas such as lawns, parks, and sports grounds, where the operator rides on the mower.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories based on engine power. Category 8433.11.00.20 covers riding mowers with a motor output under 5.2 kW, while category 8433.11.00.40 includes riding mowers with a motor output of 7.46 kW and over. Therefore, the 5.2 kW to under 7.46 kW power range serves as the precise dividing line for customs purposes.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is finalized based on the described criteria: it must be a powered riding mower with a horizontal cutting action, not electrically powered, and fall within the specified motor output range. Examples would include gasoline-powered riding mowers from various manufacturers designed for commercial or extensive residential use that meet these specific power requirements.
