Overview
This HTS category, 9902.15.74, covers specific types of table saws designed for working with wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, or similar hard materials. The defining characteristic is a blade measuring precisely 25.4 cm. These saws are generally provided for under subheading 8465.91.00, indicating their principal function as woodworking machinery.
Crucially, this classification excludes certain table saws that might otherwise fit the general description. Specifically excluded are (i) tilting arbor table saws without laser guidance, as long as they also do not exceed 220 kg in weight, and (ii) laser-guided tilting arbor table saws that have a detachable base with casters and weigh less than 31 kg. These exclusions are based on specific configurations and weight limitations that differentiate them for tariff purposes.
As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9902.15.74 hinges on meeting the general description of a 25.4 cm bladed table saw for hard materials and *not* falling into the explicitly excluded categories based on guidance systems, arbor type, base features, and weight. This detailed exclusion list is essential for accurate customs declarations, ensuring that the correct tariff treatment is applied.
