Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8206 when importing hand tools that come in sets, such as a combination of screwdrivers and pliers packaged together for retail sale. This classification is essential for ensuring compliance with customs regulations and proper duty assessment.

When determining if your product fits under this heading, consider the specific tools included. If your set contains tools from headings 8202 to 8205, such as wrenches or hammers, it qualifies for HS-6 820600. However, if the tools are not from these categories, you may need to look at other headings.

If your set includes tools that are not strictly hand tools, such as power tools or accessories, you’ll need to explore different classifications. For example, sets that contain electric drills would not fall under HS-4 8206 and would require a different HS code.

Keep in mind that packaging is crucial. The tools must be packaged together for retail sale to qualify under this heading. If they are sold separately or in bulk, you may need to classify them differently.
