8465.91.00.64 - Valued under $1,000 each

This HTS subcategory, 8465.91.00.64, specifically classifies woodworking band saws valued under $1,000 each. These machines are designed for cutting various types of wood and wood-based materials using a continuous band of toothed metal. They are typically characterized by their overhead arm and a table where the workpiece is fed, making them suitable for a wide range of woodworking tasks from resawing lumber to creating intricate curves.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 8465.91.00.68, which covers "Other" woodworking band saws. The key differentiator here is the value threshold. While both fall under woodworking band saws, this specific subcategory is reserved for those individual units with a declared customs value of less than $1,000. This distinction is crucial for tariff rate determination and other import/export procedures that may be influenced by the economic value of the machinery.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories below this classification. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8465.91.00.64 rests solely on identifying a woodworking band saw and confirming its individual customs value is under the specified $1,000 threshold. Examples of machines that would fall here include smaller, more basic workshop band saws commonly found in hobbyist or small-scale woodworking shops, as well as entry-level professional models that meet the value criterion.
