8467.89.50.30 - Gasoline powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters

This HTS category, 8467.89.50.30, specifically classifies gasoline-powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters designed for working in the hand. These tools are characterized by their self-contained gasoline engines, which provide the motive power for cutting vegetation. They are intended for general landscaping and land clearing tasks where portability and power are essential, and are not designed for specialized agricultural or horticultural applications.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8467.89.50.60 covers similar tools but specifically those designated for agricultural or horticultural use, implying a specialized design or function within those contexts. The category 8467.89.50.90, also at the "Other" level, serves as a residual category for any remaining tools under 8467.89.50 that do not fit the specific descriptions of trimmers/brushcutters or those designed for agriculture/horticulture. Therefore, 8467.89.50.30 is precise in its scope, focusing on the common gasoline-powered tools used for general yard maintenance and vegetation management.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is determined by the power source (gasoline engine), the type of implement (trimmer or brushcutter), and its intended primary use for general vegetation management by hand-held operation.
