Overview
This HTS category specifically covers circular knitting machines designed for the production of hosiery. The defining characteristic of these machines is their cylinder diameter, which must not exceed 165 millimeters. This precise measurement is a critical factor in differentiating them from other circular knitting machines within the same broader category.
Within the "Circular knitting machines" classification, this subheading is distinguished from its sibling, 8447.11.90, which encompasses "Other" circular knitting machines. Therefore, machines classified under 8447.11.10.00 are exclusively those whose primary purpose is knitting hosiery and that meet the specified cylinder diameter criteria, whereas the "Other" category would include circular knitting machines for broader textile applications or those exceeding the 165 mm diameter.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification hinges entirely on the machine's function (knitting hosiery) and its physical dimension (cylinder diameter not exceeding 165 mm). Importers and exporters should ensure these two criteria are met to correctly classify their circular knitting machines under this specific subheading.
