8465.92.00.66 - Other

This HTS classification, 8465.92.00.66, pertains to woodworking machines that shape or profile materials through cutting operations, specifically those not falling under other defined subcategories of planers, millers, or shapers. These machines are designed for intricate woodworking tasks, often involving the creation of decorative edges, grooves, or complex profiles on wood components. Examples include specialized routers with custom tooling, spindle molders for shaping edges, and tenoning machines for creating specific joint profiles.

This category distinguishes itself from sibling category 8465.92.00.62 by not having a monetary value limitation. While the sibling category specifically addresses shapers and profilers valued under $1,000 each, this category encompasses such machines regardless of their unit price, provided they are used for woodworking and employ cutting methods to shape or profile the material. The focus here is on the machine's function and application within the woodworking sector, rather than a cost-based exclusion.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a machine under 8465.92.00.66 relies on its primary function as a cutting-based woodworking shaper or profiler, its ability to work wood, and its exclusion from more specific classifications within Chapter 84. The defining characteristic is the use of cutting tools to remove material and achieve a desired shape or profile on wood.
