8466.92 - For machines of heading 8465:

HTS code 8466.92 pertains to parts and accessories specifically designed for use with machines classified under heading 8465. Heading 8465 covers machines for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials. Therefore, this subcategory encompasses a wide array of components, fixtures, and specialized attachments integral to the operation of such woodworking and material processing machinery. This includes, but is not limited to, work or tool holders, chucks, clamping devices, and other specialized attachments that are exclusively or principally intended for use with machines of heading 8465.

This classification is distinct from its siblings which cover parts for different groups of machinery. For instance, 8466.91 covers accessories for machines of heading 8464 (stone, ceramic, concrete or like materials), 8466.93 is for machines of headings 8456 to 8461 (metalworking machine tools), and 8466.94 is for machines of headings 8462 or 8463 (metal forming machines). The key differentiator for 8466.92 is its direct linkage to machines that work wood, cork, bone, and similar hard materials as defined in heading 8465.

Within 8466.92, further subdivisions clarify the nature of the parts. The primary subcategories are 8466.92.10 and 8466.92.50. 8466.92.10 specifically addresses cast-iron parts that have undergone minimal processing, such as cleaning or basic machining solely for material removal to facilitate assembly or location in finishing machinery. The residual category, 8466.92.50, covers all other parts and accessories for heading 8465 machines that do not meet the specific criteria of 8466.92.10, allowing for a comprehensive classification of all relevant components.
