8467.29.00.10 - Angle grinders, sanders and polishers

This HTS category, 8467.29.00.10, specifically classifies angle grinders, sanders, and polishers that are equipped with a self-contained electric motor and are designed for use by hand. These tools are characterized by their portable nature and their primary function of material removal or surface finishing through abrasive action. The "angle grinder" aspect refers to tools typically featuring a rotating disc used for cutting, grinding, or polishing, while "sanders" and "polishers" encompass a range of devices employing abrasive materials for smoothing, shaping, or finishing surfaces.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8467.29.00.15, which exclusively covers orbital and straight-line sanders. While both fall under the broader umbrella of electric hand-held sanders, this current category is for angle grinders and other types of sanders and polishers not specifically defined as orbital or straight-line. Therefore, tools with a rotary action that is not purely orbital or linear, or tools primarily designed for grinding in an angular configuration, would be classified here.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on identifying the tool as a hand-held, self-contained electric motor-driven grinder, sander, or polisher that does not fit the more specific description of orbital or straight-line sanders. The physical design, the primary mode of operation (e.g., rotary disc speed and angle), and the intended application are key factors in correctly assigning goods to this classification.
