Overview
This HTS classification, 8481.80.30.55, specifically covers gate type valves made of steel that are hand-operated. Gate valves are characterized by a flat or wedge-shaped disc that moves vertically to open or close the flow passage. Their primary function is to act as a fully open or fully closed shut-off device, rather than for throttling or regulating flow. These valves are commonly used in various industrial applications where a clear, unobstructed flow path is desired when fully open.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific gate design. For instance, globe type valves (8481.80.30.60) utilize a plug that moves against a seat to regulate flow, while ball type valves (8481.80.30.70) use a rotating ball with a bore. Plug type (8481.80.30.65) and butterfly type (8481.80.30.75) valves also employ different mechanisms for flow control. The "Other" category (8481.80.30.90) would encompass hand-operated steel valves of iron or steel that do not fit the specific descriptions of gate, globe, plug, ball, or butterfly types.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes is on confirming that the valve is indeed of the gate type, is hand-operated, and is constructed from steel, fitting within the broader scope of other appliances and similar devices for pipes, tanks, and vessels under heading 8481.
