Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8207 when importing interchangeable tools for hand or machine use, such as a set of drill bits or a tapping tool. This heading covers various tools, including those designed for pressing, stamping, and boring.

When deciding between HS-6 820713 and HS-6 820719, consider the material of the working part. If your rock drilling tool has a cermet working part, it falls under 820713. If not, use 820719, which includes other materials.

For tools designed for drawing or extruding metal, choose HS-6 820720. If your tool is specifically for pressing or stamping, then HS-6 820730 is the correct classification. Each subheading is tailored to specific tool functions and materials.

If you're importing tools for milling, turning, or screw-driving, check HS-6 820770, HS-6 820780, and HS-6 820790 respectively. Each line specifies the tool's intended use, which is crucial for correct classification.
