Overview

This HTS category, 8480.79.90.10, specifically classifies "blow molds." Blow molds are a type of mold used in manufacturing processes, primarily for the production of hollow plastic containers and objects through a blow molding technique. This involves inflating a heated plastic parison (a hollow tube) inside a mold cavity until it takes the shape of the mold.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 8480.79.90.20, which covers "bladder operated molds." While both are molds for plastics, bladder-operated molds utilize an inflatable bladder to press the plastic against the mold walls, a different mechanism than the air pressure inflation characteristic of blow molds. The other sibling, 8480.79.90.90, serves as a residual category for any other types of molds for rubber or plastics not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node, 8480.79.90.10 has no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the specific design and function of the mold being a blow mold. Key distinguishing features for classification within this sub-heading include the mold's construction designed to accommodate the inflation of a parison, typically featuring a split cavity that closes around the parison before air is introduced to expand the plastic.
