8509.40.00.30 - Juice extractors

This category, HTS Code 8509.40.00.30, specifically classifies juice extractors. These are self-contained electromechanical domestic appliances designed primarily for extracting liquid from fruits and vegetables through methods such as centrifugal force or pressing. The defining characteristic is their singular function of separating juice from pulp.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While sibling categories like 8509.40.00.15 (Blenders), 8509.40.00.25 (Other food mixers), and 8509.40.00.40 (Food grinders and processors) handle a broader range of food preparation tasks such as mixing, blending, or grinding, juice extractors are dedicated solely to the extraction of liquid content. The operation and primary purpose are distinct from these more multi-functional or different-tasked appliances.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, HTS Code 8509.40.00.30 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of any appliance under this code will rely on its ability to meet the functional and structural criteria of a juice extractor, distinguishing it from other electromechanical domestic appliances listed under heading 8509.
