9902.15.75 - Benchtop band saws, for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials, the foregoing with a cutting depth between 25 and 36 cm, valued under $1,000 each (provided for in subheading 8465.91.00)

This HTS category, 9902.15.75, specifically covers benchtop band saws designed for working with hard materials such as wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, and certain hard plastics. The defining characteristics for inclusion in this provision are the saw's benchtop form factor, its cutting depth range of 25 to 36 centimeters, and a per-unit value of under $1,000. This classification is further tied to the principal classification under subheading 8465.91.00, indicating these are specialized machines falling under broader categories of woodworking machinery.

Distinguishing this category from its numerous siblings at the HTS database root level is straightforward. The root level encompasses a vast array of goods, from live animals (Chapters 01) to various manufactured products. HTS 9902.15.75 is a very specific, temporary tariff provision located within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications. Unlike the broad product categories found at the root, this provision targets a very niche subset of industrial machinery with precise technical and valuation criteria.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9902.15.75 is final once the product meets all the stipulated requirements: benchtop design, specified cutting depth, value threshold, and intended material application, all of which are detailed in the official description. This specific provision is likely in place due to temporary trade policies or agreements impacting these particular types of band saws.
