8446.21.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8446.21.50.00, encompasses "Other" power looms for weaving fabrics exceeding 30 cm in width, of the shuttle type. This classification acts as a residual category for power shuttle looms that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the 8446.21.00.00 range. It is designed to capture a wide array of shuttle-type power looms not specifically detailed elsewhere, ensuring comprehensive classification within the broader scope of weaving machinery.

Within the context of 8446.21.00.00 (Power looms for weaving fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm, shuttle type), this specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling, 8446.21.10.00, which is designated for looms specifically designed for weaving fabrics of a width exceeding 4.9 meters. Therefore, 8446.21.50.00 applies to shuttle-type power looms capable of weaving fabrics with widths less than or equal to 4.9 meters, provided they exceed the 30 cm minimum width threshold.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8446.21.50.00 is therefore determined by the absence of specific criteria that would place a shuttle-type power loom, designed for fabrics wider than 30 cm, into a more granular subheading, particularly those defined by extreme fabric width. Examples of looms that might fall here include those used for weaving standard widths of upholstery fabric, apparel textiles, or industrial materials where the primary defining characteristic is their shuttle operation and power-driven nature for weaving widths exceeding 30 cm but not the significant 4.9-meter specification.
