8467.89.50.60 - Other, designed for use in agriculture or horticulture

This HTS subheading, 8467.89.50.60, encompasses a broad category of hand-held tools designed for use in agricultural or horticultural applications that do not fall under more specific classifications within the 8467.89.50 range. These are tools powered by various means, including pneumatic, hydraulic, or self-contained electric or non-electric motors, that are specifically intended for tasks such as cultivating soil, harvesting crops, pruning plants, or other related agricultural and horticultural activities. The defining characteristic is their specialized application within these sectors, even if their mechanical function might be similar to other types of tools.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 8467.89.50.30 specifically covers gasoline-powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters, which are distinct in their power source and primary function. Therefore, tools classified under 8467.89.50.60 would exclude gasoline-powered trimmers and brushcutters, even if used in agriculture or horticulture, and would encompass other types of powered hand-held tools for these purposes. The "Other" sibling, 8467.89.50.90, would capture remaining tools that are not gasoline-powered trimmers/brushcutters and not specifically designed for agriculture or horticulture.

As this subheading is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8467.89.50.60 is determined by the tool's primary design and intended end-use in agriculture or horticulture, provided it is a powered hand-held tool and not specifically classifiable under other more specific subheadings. Examples could include specialized powered pruning shears for orchards, powered soil aerators for gardening, or certain types of powered cultivators.
