Overview
This HTS category, 8433.11.00.40, specifically classifies riding lawn mowers that are powered and feature a horizontally rotating cutting device, excluding electric models, and have a motor output of 7.46 kW and over. These are robust machines designed for efficiently cutting grass on larger areas such as extensive lawns, parks, and sports grounds, where significant power is required for operation. The classification emphasizes the combination of "riding" capability, horizontal blade rotation, non-electric power source, and a substantial motor output.
The distinction from its sibling categories lies precisely in the specified motor power. While 8433.11.00.20 covers riding mowers with a motor output of under 5.2 kW, and 8433.11.00.30 encompasses those with outputs between 5.2 kW and under 7.46 kW, this category is reserved for the most powerful non-electric riding mowers in this range, exceeding 7.46 kW. This power threshold is a critical factor for customs classification, reflecting the operational capacity and intended use of the machinery.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for import and export purposes remains on verifying that the goods precisely meet all the stipulated criteria: being a riding mower, powered (non-electric), with a horizontal cutting plane, and possessing a motor rated at 7.46 kW or more. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product specifications accurately reflect this power rating to ensure correct classification.
