8477.10.90.60 - With a clamp force equal to or greater than 750 tons

This HTS classification, 8477.10.90.60, covers injection-molding machines specifically designed for processing thermoplastics, characterized by a significant clamping force. These machines are essential for mass production of plastic components across various industries, utilizing molten thermoplastic material injected under high pressure into a mold cavity. The defining feature for this subcategory is a substantial clamp force, defined as being equal to or greater than 750 tons.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its explicit clamp force threshold. While other subcategories address machines with lower clamping forces (less than 50 tons, between 50 and 300 tons, and between 300 and 750 tons), this designation targets the most powerful injection-molding equipment within the scope of thermoplastic processing. The higher clamp force allows for the production of larger, more complex, or thicker-walled plastic parts, requiring greater molding pressure and robust machinery.

As a leaf node, 8477.10.90.60 represents the most granular level of classification for these specific injection-molding machines. Therefore, its coverage is definitive for thermoplastic processing injection-molding machines with a clamp force of 750 tons or more. Classification within this code hinges solely on meeting this specified clamp force criterion, alongside the general requirements of injection-molding machines for thermoplastics outlined in the broader parent categories.
