Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 820810 when importing or exporting knives and cutting blades designed for machines or mechanical appliances specifically for metalworking. For example, a shipment of industrial cutting blades used in CNC machines falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 820820, which covers knives and blades for other purposes, such as woodworking. If your product is intended for metal processing, 820810 is the correct classification.
The 820810 classification includes tools like metal cutting blades, which can be made from high-speed steel or carbide. These blades are essential for precision machining and are often sold in bulk to manufacturers.
When considering this HS code, remember that it applies to blades designed for machines, not hand-held tools. If you have a knife used for manual cutting, you may need to look at other classifications.
