Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 821192 when importing or exporting fixed-blade knives, such as utility knives or hunting knives, that do not fall under table knives. For example, a shipment of hunting knives with fixed blades would be classified under this code.
This code specifically covers knives with fixed cutting blades, excluding table knives and those classified under HS-8208. If you're dealing with kitchen knives or table knives, you would need to look at different classifications.
If you have knives that are serrated or non-serrated, as long as they are not intended for table use, they will likely fall under this HS-6. For instance, a shipment of camping knives with fixed blades would also be classified here.
Be cautious with similar HS-6 codes in this heading. For example, HS-821193 covers knives with interchangeable blades, which would not apply to your fixed-blade knives.
