Overview
This HTS category, 8474.20.00.10, specifically covers portable crushing and grinding machines designed for processing earth, stone, ores, and other mineral substances in solid form, including powders and pastes. These machines are characterized by their mobility, allowing for on-site operations or relocation as needed, distinguishing them from larger, permanently installed industrial equipment. Examples include portable rock crushers, mobile concrete grinders, and handheld stone pulverizers.
The defining characteristic of this category is its portability. This contrasts with sibling categories, such as "stationary" crushing or grinding machines, which are fixed installations and are not designed for easy movement. The classification hinges on whether the machinery is inherently designed for transport and operation in various locations, as opposed to being a permanent fixture in a processing plant.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the combination of crushing/grinding function and portability for mineral substances. Users should refer to the general notes and specific interpretive rules of the HTS to ensure accurate application of this classification.
