Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8467 when importing hand tools powered by pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric motors. For example, if you're shipping electric drills or pneumatic rotary tools, this heading is applicable. It covers various types of hand-held tools designed for different applications.
To choose the right subheading under 8467, consider the tool's power source and function. For instance, 846711 is for rotary pneumatic tools, while 846719 covers other pneumatic tools that don’t use rotary action. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.
If your shipment includes electric tools, you’ll need to differentiate between types. 846721 is specifically for electric drills, whereas 846722 is reserved for electric saws. If your tool is neither a drill nor a saw but still electric, you would classify it under 846729.
