Overview
This HTS classification, 8716.80.10.00, specifically designates farm wagons and carts that are not mechanically propelled. This category encompasses a range of wheeled conveyances designed for agricultural use, intended for towing by tractors or other farm machinery to transport crops, feed, equipment, or other farm-related materials. These vehicles are characterized by their structural design and intended purpose within an agricultural setting, distinguishing them from general-purpose trailers or carts.
In contrast to its sibling category, 8716.80.50, which broadly covers "Other" non-mechanically propelled vehicles, this subcategory is narrowly defined for agricultural implements. The key differentiator lies in the specialized design and primary application within farming operations. While a "common" cart might be suitable for general hauling, a farm wagon or cart classified here is built to withstand the rigors of farm environments and perform specific agricultural transport functions.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8716.80.10.00 relies on confirming that the vehicle in question is indeed a wagon or cart intended for farm use and is not self-propelled. Practical considerations such as the presence of specific features for agricultural loads (e.g., reinforced beds, tie-down points for livestock or hay) and evidence of its use in agricultural production are crucial for accurate classification.
