8452.90.20.10 - Of household machines

This HTS category, 8452.90.20.10, specifically covers parts and accessories that are designed for use with household sewing machines. This includes a wide array of components such as internal mechanisms, external casings, specialized attachments, and other accessories that are integral to the operation of sewing machines intended for domestic use. The key defining characteristic for classification under this code is the intended end-use in a household setting, differentiating these parts from those designed for industrial or commercial sewing machinery.

Within the broader category of "Other parts of sewing machines," this subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 8452.90.20.90, which is designated for "Other" parts. This means that 8452.90.20.10 is for explicitly identifiable components of household sewing machines, while the "Other" category would encompass residual parts not specifically enumerated or falling under the "household machines" designation. Classification hinges on whether a part's design and purpose clearly align with a machine used in a domestic environment.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8452.90.20.10 relies on clearly demonstrating that the part in question is intended for use with a sewing machine of the type commonly found in households, rather than industrial or commercial applications. Examples of items classified here could include specific bobbin cases, presser feet, stitch selector mechanisms, or decorative outer panels designed for domestic models.
