8509.80.50.95 - Other

This HTS category, 8509.80.50.95, serves as a residual classification for electromechanical domestic appliances with self-contained electric motors that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within heading 8509. It captures a broad range of household appliances that do not fit into more defined categories, provided they are powered by an integrated electric motor and are intended for domestic use.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings, such as electric can openers (8509.80.50.40) and electric toothbrushes (8509.80.50.45). Appliances classified under 8509.80.50.95 are those for which a more specific classification within the 8509.80.50 series is not applicable. For instance, while humidifiers are listed as a distinct sibling, other less common, motor-driven domestic appliances would fall here if they do not align with the specific examples provided at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this code relies on a thorough examination of the appliance's function, its self-contained motor, and its intended domestic application, ensuring it is not more specifically classified under another heading or subheading within the HTS.
