Overview
This HTS category, "Other" under 8447.11.90, encompasses circular knitting machines with a cylinder diameter not exceeding 165 mm that do not fit the specific descriptions of the sibling categories. These machines are designed for the production of knitted fabrics, and this subcategory serves as a residual for circular knitting machines within the specified diameter range that are not classified as open-top cylinder machines or cylinder and dial machines.
The primary distinction of this category lies in its residual nature. Unlike the sibling categories 8447.11.90.10 (Open-top cylinder machines) and 8447.11.90.20 (Cylinder and dial machines), which define specific configurations of knitting mechanisms, this "Other" category captures circular knitting machines within the 165 mm cylinder diameter limit that do not possess the defining features of those more precisely defined types. Classification into this category is therefore determined by the exclusion of the machine from the more specific classifications at the same level.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a circular knitting machine with a cylinder diameter not exceeding 165 mm hinges on determining whether it aligns with the specific design elements of open-top cylinder machines or cylinder and dial machines. If it does not meet the criteria for either of those, it will be classified under this residual "Other" designation.
