Overview
This HTS classification, 8705.40.00.00, specifically covers self-propelled vehicles designed and equipped for the mixing of concrete. These are not general transport vehicles but specialized mobile units whose primary function is to mix and often deliver concrete. The classification encompasses vehicles that incorporate a rotating drum or similar mechanism for concrete mixing, powered by the vehicle's engine or a separate power unit.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, mobile cranes (8705.10.00) are characterized by their lifting and hoisting mechanisms, while mobile drilling derricks (8705.20.00.00) are designed for drilling operations. Fire fighting vehicles (8705.30.00.00) are equipped for extinguishing fires, and other special purpose vehicles fall under the residual category of 8705.90.00. Concrete mixers are distinct due to their dedicated function of concrete preparation during transit or at a work site.
As a leaf node, 8705.40.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the definitive characteristics of the vehicle being a concrete mixer. Items fitting this description are specialized pieces of construction equipment mounted on a motor vehicle chassis.
