9902.15.73 - Miter sawing machines, power operated, not numerically controlled, for working metal, with safety cut off switch (provided for in subheading 8461.50.80)

This classification pertains to specific types of metalworking machinery: miter sawing machines that are power-operated but not numerically controlled. A key distinguishing feature for goods falling under this category is the mandatory inclusion of a safety cut-off switch. These machines are designed for cutting metal and are provided for under the broader subheading 8461.50.80, indicating their placement within the machinery chapter of the HTS.

Given its position within Chapter 99, this HTS code represents a temporary legislative provision or modification related to trade agreements or specific import restrictions, rather than a standard product classification. It is crucial to understand that HTS codes within Chapter 99 are dynamic and may be subject to change. The primary function of this code is to denote special trade considerations applied to miter sawing machines that meet the detailed technical specifications.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, HTS 9902.15.73 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its coverage is precisely defined by the description: power-operated, non-numerically controlled miter sawing machines for working metal, equipped with a safety cut-off switch, and subject to temporary trade provisions. Classification under this code relies on fulfilling all these criteria, differentiating it from general machinery classifications and highlighting its specific role within special trade policy frameworks.
