Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8202 when importing hand tools like hand saws or specific saw blades such as band saw blades. For example, if you're shipping a set of hand saws for woodworking, this heading applies directly.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the material and type of saw blade. For instance, HS-6 820231 is for circular saw blades made of steel, while HS-6 820239 covers those made from other materials. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

If you're importing chain saw blades, you'll want to use HS-6 820240. However, if your shipment includes straight saw blades specifically for metalworking, then HS-6 820291 is the correct choice. Each subheading targets a specific product type, so be clear on your product's specifications.
