9902.15.78 - Laser-guided tilting arbor table saws, each with 25.4 cm blade and presented with a detachable base with casters, the foregoing weighing less than 31 kg (provided for in subheading 8465.91.00)

This HTS category, 9902.15.78, specifically covers laser-guided tilting arbor table saws. Key defining characteristics include a 25.4 cm blade, the unit's ability to be presented with a detachable base equipped with casters, and a total weight of less than 31 kilograms. These particular table saws are temporarily legislated under this chapter, indicating a specific import condition or modification that deviates from their standard classification.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike the broad agricultural and live animal headings found at the root of the HTS, or other general machinery categories, 9902.15.78 targets a very specific type of woodworking machinery with precise physical and functional attributes. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies a temporary measure, often related to trade agreements or specific policy objectives, rather than a permanent classification based on fundamental material or function as seen in other HTS sections.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.15.78 is therefore definitive based on the product meeting all the outlined criteria, including the laser guidance system, blade size, detachable base with casters, and weight limitation. Importers must ensure the product precisely matches this description to utilize this specific temporary classification provision.
