8465.92.00.06 - Routers

HTS Code 8465.92.00.06 specifically covers "Routers" used for woodworking. These are machinery designed to cut or shape wood through the use of rotating cutters. Routers are typically employed for creating decorative edges, grooves, slots, and joinery in wood.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8465.92.00.03, which covers "Moulders." While both are woodworking machines, moulders are designed to shape a workpiece by simultaneously cutting multiple surfaces to produce a desired profile. Routers, conversely, generally operate with a single cutter to perform more targeted material removal or shaping. The "Other" category at this level (8465.92.00.16) would encompass any woodworking machines for planing, milling, or molding by cutting that do not fall under the specific definitions of routers or moulders.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8465.92.00.06 relies on identifying a machine whose primary function is the removal of wood material using a rotating bit to create channels, profiles, or surface textures, consistent with the common understanding and application of a router in woodworking.
