8704.10.50.50 - With a capacity exceeding 90.7 metric tons

This HTS classification, 8704.10.50.50, specifically identifies heavy-duty dumpers designed for off-highway use that possess a carrying capacity exceeding 90.7 metric tons. These vehicles are engineered for the most demanding bulk material transport applications in environments such as large-scale mining operations, major construction sites, and quarrying activities where robust construction and immense payload are paramount. Their specialized design focuses on efficient loading, transportation, and unloading of significant volumes of materials like overburden, ore, or aggregate under rigorous conditions.

The key distinguishing factor for this category, as indicated by its description, is its exceptional capacity. It is differentiated from its sibling categories by the defined weight threshold. Categories 8704.10.50.20, 8704.10.50.30, and 8704.10.50.40 cover dumpers with progressively lower carrying capacities, up to and including 90.7 metric tons. Therefore, any off-highway rear-dump dumper with a capacity *above* 90.7 metric tons falls exclusively into this 8704.10.50.50 classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific code. The classification is complete at this level, with the defining characteristic being the substantial carrying capacity exceeding 90.7 metric tons for off-highway dumpers. Importers and exporters should verify the stated manufacturer's rated carrying capacity to ensure accurate classification under this specific subheading, as slight variations in capacity will necessitate classification under the appropriate sibling category.
