Overview
This HTS category, 8479.90.95.65, specifically covers parts and accessories for machines or mechanical appliances whose primary function is the treatment of metal. This includes components such as gears, shafts, levers, housings, or any other integral part designed to facilitate metalworking processes like cutting, shaping, bending, finishing, or surface treatment. The crucial element for classification here is the explicit design and intended use of the part in conjunction with machinery dedicated to metal manipulation.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is important for accurate classification. Unlike 8479.90.95.50, which covers parts for construction or public works machinery, or 8479.90.95.60, which pertains to parts for wood or cork treatment machinery, 8479.90.95.65 is exclusively for parts used with metal treatment equipment. It also differs from the broader "Other" category (8479.90.95.96) by narrowly focusing on the metal treatment aspect, ensuring that parts for general-purpose machinery or machinery for other material treatments are correctly routed.
As a leaf node, this category represents the most specific classification for parts of metal treatment machinery within this HTS structure. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes is on carefully examining the specific part's design, construction, and the original machinery's function to confirm its direct application in metal treatment processes. Without further subdivisions, the accurate identification of the intended metalworking application is the sole determinant for inclusion within this specific HTS code.
