8479.90.41.00 - Of articles of subheading 8479.89.10 or 8479.89.70

This HTS category, 8479.90.41.00, specifically classifies parts for machines and mechanical appliances that are designed to perform individual, non-specified functions, as defined in subheadings 8479.89.10 or 8479.89.70. These subheadings generally cover machines for working metal, wood, or other materials, and other machinery with individual functions not elsewhere specified. Therefore, this classification applies to components, assemblies, or subassemblies that are integral to the operation of such specialized machinery, rather than the machines themselves.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8479.90.95, which covers "Other" parts of machinery not specified elsewhere within the 8479.90.00 heading. While 8479.90.41.00 is a specific designation for parts related to particular machine types, the "Other" category serves as a residual for any remaining parts of machines with individual functions that do not fall into the more precisely defined subcategories. Additionally, it differs from the "Of trash compactors" sibling, which is reserved exclusively for parts of machines designed for the compaction of refuse.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into 8479.90.41.00 relies heavily on identifying that the part's intended use is for a machine classified under either 8479.89.10 or 8479.89.70. Crucially, the part must be identifiable as a component of these specific types of machinery, based on its design, function, and physical characteristics, and not be a general-purpose component that could be used across a wider range of machinery.
