8465.91.00.53 - Valued under $3,000 each

This HTS subheading specifically classifies panel saws designed for woodworking applications, where each individual saw is valued at under $3,000. Panel saws are specialized machines used to cut large sheets of wood or wood-based materials, such as plywood, particleboard, and MDF, into smaller, more manageable sizes. They are characterized by their ability to handle sheet goods efficiently, often featuring a horizontal or vertical design with a long cutting stroke.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 8465.91.00.58 (Other), lies in the value threshold. While both fall under the broader classification of panel saws for woodworking, this specific subheading is reserved for those panel saws with an individual unit value below $3,000. This value-based distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code depends entirely on the type of machinery being a panel saw used for woodworking and its individual value falling within the stipulated range. Examples of machines that would fall here include standard panel saws used in cabinet shops, furniture manufacturing, and other woodworking operations where the cost per unit is below the specified threshold.
