820720
Tools, interchangeable; (for machine or hand tools, whether or not power-operated), dies for drawing or extruding metal
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 820720 when importing or exporting interchangeable tools for machine or hand tools, such as dies used for drawing or extruding metal. For example, a shipment of metal dies designed for a hydraulic press would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers tools that are interchangeable and can be used with both hand tools and power-operated machines. In contrast, HS-6 820710 pertains to interchangeable tools specifically for hand tools only, which may limit their application.
When classifying products, note that HS-6 820720 includes items like drill bits and metal-forming dies, while tools that are not interchangeable, such as fixed cutting tools, would not qualify under this line. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations.
If you're dealing with tools that can be used across various machines or processes, ensure you are using the correct subheading. For instance, a set of interchangeable drill bits for a CNC machine would be classified under this code.
