8465.10.00.35 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 8465.10.00.35, encompasses woodworking machines that perform multiple machining operations without requiring a tool change between those operations. This typically includes machines capable of performing diverse tasks such as tenoning, mortising, tenoning and mortising simultaneously, or other combinations of cutting, shaping, or profiling wood. The defining characteristic is the machine's inherent ability to switch between different functions automatically or through operator selection without manual tool replacement.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8465.10.00.25, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers numerically controlled (NC) machines that perform different machining operations without tool change. Therefore, 8465.10.00.35 captures those machines that perform multiple operations without tool change but are *not* numerically controlled. This implies that the control mechanism is either manual, mechanical, or otherwise not automated via a numerical control system for the sequence of operations.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this specific code hinges on identifying woodworking machines that possess the capability for varied machining operations without a tool change and are not numerically controlled. Examples might include multi-spindle shapers or specialized tenoners equipped with multiple cutters that can be engaged sequentially for different cuts on a single workpiece.
