8433.11.00.50 - Under 3.7 kW

This HTS category, 8433.11.00.50, specifically classifies powered lawn mowers where the cutting mechanism rotates in a horizontal plane, and which have a motor output of **under 3.7 kilowatts (kW)**. These machines are designed for the maintenance of lawns, parks, and sports grounds. The defining characteristic here is the power rating of the motor, distinguishing these units from their more powerful counterparts.

The primary distinction of this subcategory lies in its power limitation. It is directly contrasted with its sibling category, 8433.11.00.60, which covers similar horizontal rotary mowers but with a motor output of **3.7 kW and over**. Therefore, when classifying a powered lawn mower with a horizontal cutting plane, the key factor is to accurately determine the motor's kilowatt rating to ensure correct placement within either 8433.11.00.50 or 8433.11.00.60.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8433.11.00.50 is determined solely by the machine's function as a lawn mower with a horizontal rotating cutting blade, its intended use (lawns, parks, sports grounds), and crucially, its motor power being less than 3.7 kW. Examples include many common residential electric and battery-powered rotary mowers, as well as smaller gasoline-powered models.
