8437.80.00 - Other machinery

This HTS category, 8437.80.00, encompasses machinery specifically designed for the milling industry or for the processing of cereals and dried leguminous vegetables, excluding those considered farm-type machinery. This classification is distinct from HTS code 8437.10.00.00, which is reserved for machines dedicated solely to cleaning, sorting, or grading seed, grain, or dried leguminous vegetables. Furthermore, it does not include parts, which are classified under 8437.90.00. The scope here is for machines performing more complex processing operations beyond simple sorting or cleaning.

Within this category, the machinery is further subdivided to provide greater specificity. Subcategory 8437.80.00.10 covers dedicated flour mill and grain mill machines, which are integral to the production of milled cereal products. The remaining machinery within the scope of 8437.80.00 falls under the residual category 8437.80.00.90, encompassing other machines used in the milling industry or for the working of cereals and dried leguminous vegetables that are not specifically classified as flour or grain mills. This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification based on the primary function and specific application of the machinery.
