8477.90.86.95 - Other parts

This category, HTS 8477.90.86.95, encompasses "Other parts" for machinery used in the working of rubber or plastics, or in the manufacture of products from these materials. These parts are not specifically categorized under the more detailed subheadings within 8477.90.86, which are reserved for components of injection-molding machines, extruders, blow-molding machines, or machines for forming pneumatic tires. Therefore, this classification acts as a residual category for parts that do not fit into those more defined groups.

To classify an item under this heading, it must be a component or accessory intended for use with machinery falling under headings 8477, but it must not be a part of an injection-molding machine, extruder, blow-molding machine, or a tire-forming machine. For instance, this could include specialized tooling, actuators, or control system components that are not specifically designed for the aforementioned specialized machines but are nonetheless integral to the broader range of rubber and plastic working machinery.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under HTS 8477.90.86.95. Classification within this category relies on identifying that a part belongs to the general group of machinery for working rubber or plastics, and then excluding it from the more specifically defined sibling categories. Careful consideration of the specific function and design of the part in relation to the types of machinery listed in the sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification.
