8467.29.00 - Other

This category, HTS code 8467.29.00, encompasses "Other" hand-held tools with self-contained electric motors. It serves as a residual classification for electric motor-driven hand tools not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings within 8467.2. This broad scope means it captures a wide array of power tools whose primary function is manual operation by an individual, powered by an integrated electric motor, and which do not fall under the specific classifications for drills, saws, grinders, polishers, or sanders.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8467.21.00 (Drills of all kinds) and 8467.22.00 (Saws), is crucial. While all fall under the umbrella of electric motor-driven hand tools, 8467.21.00 is reserved for drilling implements, and 8467.22.00 is for sawing machines. Therefore, any electric motor-powered hand tool whose principal operational mechanism is neither drilling nor sawing, and which is designed for direct manual manipulation, would typically be considered under this residual "Other" category, pending further examination of its specific function and design.

The subcategories within 8467.29.00 further refine this broad classification by identifying more specific types of electric motor-driven hand tools. These include dedicated classifications for screwdrivers, nut-runners, impact wrenches, routers, planers, grass and weed trimmers/edgers, and electropneumatic rotary and percussion hammers. The existence of these specific subheadings indicates that the primary classification criterion within this node is the tool's functional purpose. If an electric motor-driven hand tool does not fit into one of these enumerated subcategories, the final subheading 8467.29.00.90, also labeled "Other," is used for those remaining items.
