Overview

This HTS category, 8505.90.30.00, specifically covers "Electromagnetic lifting heads." These devices utilize the principle of electromagnetism to generate a magnetic field capable of attracting and holding ferrous materials, thereby facilitating their lifting and movement. Their primary function is for the secure and temporary attachment to ferromagnetic objects for the purpose of transportation or positioning.

It is important to distinguish electromagnetic lifting heads from other items within heading 8505. While sibling categories like 8505.90.40.00 address "Work holders and parts thereof," which are designed to secure workpieces during machining or assembly, electromagnetic lifting heads are specifically designed for the movement and manipulation of materials, not for holding them stationary during a manufacturing process. Similarly, this category does not encompass electromagnets used solely in medical imaging (8505.90.70.00) or general electromagnets and parts not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node, 8505.90.30.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under this code relies heavily on their specific design, intended use as a lifting mechanism through electromagnetic force, and their physical characteristics as a "head" component designed for this purpose.
