8465.94.00.91 - Other

This HTS category, 8465.94.00.91, specifically encompasses "Other" machines designed for bending or assembling materials other than wood. While the broader heading 84.65 covers woodworking machinery, this subheading focuses on machines that perform bending or assembly operations on materials such as cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, or similar hard substances. The key differentiating factor is the material being worked, moving beyond the scope of traditional woodworking.

Unlike sibling categories that might focus on specific woodworking applications or different types of machinery for these materials, this classification acts as a residual for bending and assembly machines where the primary material is not wood. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the primary material being processed by the machine to correctly distinguish it.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code relies on accurately determining that the machine's function is bending or assembling, and that the material being worked falls within the specified non-wood hard materials. Examples might include machines for bending rigid plastic pipes or assembling components made of hard rubber.
