8466.91.10.00 - Cast-iron parts not advanced beyond cleaning, and machined only for the removal of fins, gates, sprues and risers or to permit location in finishing machinery

This HTS classification, 8466.91.10.00, covers cast-iron parts that have undergone minimal finishing. Specifically, these parts are not advanced beyond basic cleaning and may only be machined to remove imperfections such as fins, gates, sprues, and risers, or to facilitate their placement within finishing machinery. The key characteristic here is the limited nature of the machining, ensuring the core material and form of the cast-iron part remain largely intact.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8466.91.50.00 (Other), by its explicit focus on cast-iron parts with very specific, basic machining. The "Other" sibling would encompass a broader range of parts for machines of heading 8464 that do not meet the precise criteria outlined in this classification. Therefore, it is crucial to verify the material (cast-iron) and the extent of any machining when classifying under this subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification decisions at this level hinge on accurately identifying the item as a cast-iron part and confirming that the processing aligns strictly with the defined limits for cleaning and the removal of casting artifacts or for location in finishing machinery.
