8479.89.65.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS subheading, 8479.89.65.00, captures electromechanical appliances that possess their own integrated electric motor and perform a distinct, individual function. Crucially, these machines are not specifically enumerated or included in any other part of Chapter 84. The "Other" designation within this broad category signifies that it serves as a residual classification for items that meet the general criteria of Section XVI machinery but do not fit into more specific HTS headings or subheadings.

To properly classify goods under 8479.89.65.00, it's important to differentiate them from closely related sibling categories. For instance, air humidifiers/dehumidifiers (8479.89.10.00), floor polishers (8479.89.20.00), and trash compactors (8479.89.55.00) are all electromechanical appliances with self-contained motors, but they each have a specific, identifiable function that places them in their respective subheadings, distinguishing them from the broader "other" classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification of goods under 8479.89.65.00 relies heavily on a thorough examination of the appliance's design, intended use, and the absence of a more precise classification elsewhere in the tariff schedule. Examples of items that might fall under this classification include certain types of kitchen mixers (not otherwise specified), specialized personal care devices, or small, single-purpose electromechanical tools that do not have a dedicated subheading. The key is to confirm that the item is indeed an electromechanical appliance with an integral motor and that it does not fit any other more narrowly defined category.
