8704.10.50.30 - With a capacity exceeding 40.8 metric tons but not exceeding 63.5 metric tons

This classification covers heavy-duty dumpers specifically designed for off-highway operation, such as on construction sites, mines, or quarries. These vehicles are characterized by their robust construction and their primary function of transporting loose materials in bulk. The defining criterion for this subcategory is their carrying capacity, which must exceed 40.8 metric tons but not exceed 63.5 metric tons.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its precise payload range. It differentiates itself from 8704.10.50.20, which covers dumpers with a capacity of 40.8 metric tons or less, and from 8704.10.50.40 and 8704.10.50.50, which encompass dumpers with greater carrying capacities. The distinction is solely based on the metric ton capacity of the vehicle's bed or payload area.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this specific code is determined solely by the established weight capacity. Therefore, any off-highway dumper falling within the 40.8 to 63.5 metric ton payload range, regardless of specific engine type, transmission, or tire size (provided these do not lead to a different primary classification), will be classified under 8704.10.50.30.
