Overview
HTS code 8474.80.00.15 encompasses machinery used for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials, and other mineral products in powder or paste form. This category is distinct from its sibling, 8474.80.00.10, which specifically covers machinery designed for use with ceramic paste, unhardened cements, and plastering materials. Therefore, 8474.80.00.15 is reserved for those machines that are intended for mineral fuels or other mineral products beyond those specifically enumerated in the sibling category.
The machinery classified under 8474.80.00.15 performs a crucial role in transforming powdered or pasty mineral substances into more solid or shaped forms. Examples of such operations include briquetting of coal or other mineral fuels, forming pellets from mineral ores, or shaping building materials from cementitious powders. The key distinction lies in the primary intended material and the agglomerating or shaping function, ensuring precise classification of these specialized industrial machines.
As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 8474.80.00.15 does not have further subdivisions. The classification is determined by the machine's primary function in agglomerating or shaping solid mineral fuels and other mineral products, differentiating it from machines dedicated solely to ceramic paste, unhardened cements, and plastering materials.
