8465.93.00.45 - Valued $1,000 or over but under $3,000 each

This HTS classification, 8465.93.00.45, specifically covers edge belt sanders designed for woodworking applications that have a transactional value of $1,000 or more, but less than $3,000 each. These machines are utilized for shaping, smoothing, or finishing the edges of wooden components through the application of abrasive belts. Their function is integral to various woodworking processes, from furniture manufacturing to cabinetry and architectural millwork.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8465.93.00.30, by its specific value threshold; the latter covers similar edge belt sanders valued under $1,000 each. The other sibling, 8465.93.00.55, encompasses a broader range of "other" woodworking grinding, sanding, or polishing machines not specifically classified under the edge belt sander categories. Therefore, the precise monetary valuation of the equipment is a critical factor in determining correct classification between these related subheadings.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8465.93.00.45. Classification at this level is finalized based on the machine's function as an edge belt sander for woodworking and its individual unit value falling within the specified $1,000 to $3,000 range. This ensures that such machinery is appropriately identified for customs purposes, reflecting its specific type and economic value.
