HS-6 · Subheading
820713
Tools, interchangeable; rock drilling or earth boring tools, with working part of cermets, whether or not power operated
Heading 8207 — Tools, interchangeable; for hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or for machine tools (pressing, stamping, punching, drilling etc), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock drilling or earth boring tools
Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 820713 when importing or exporting rock drilling or earth boring tools that have working parts made of cermets. For example, a shipment of cermet-tipped drill bits designed for use in mining operations would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers interchangeable tools for rock drilling, which are distinct from other hand tools like wrenches or pliers classified under HS-6 8207XX. If your tools are not designed for rock drilling or do not have cermet components, they may require a different classification.
The 820713 line is focused on tools that are either power-operated or manual, emphasizing their use in heavy-duty applications. In contrast, tools classified under HS-6 820711 are made from materials other than cermets and may not be suitable for the same rigorous tasks.
When considering classification, think about the specific end-use of your tools. If they are designed for drilling into hard rock or earth, and their working parts are made of cermets, HS-6 820713 is likely the correct choice.
