6804.21.00.30 - Articles consisting of multiple segments of diamond agglomerated with metal, attached to circular plates of steel, without cutting parts (whether or not attached to non-steel plates)

This HTS category, 6804.21.00.30, specifically covers articles designed for grinding, sharpening, polishing, trueing, or cutting, which are constructed from multiple segments of diamond agglomerated with metal. A key characteristic of these articles is their attachment to circular plates made of steel. It is important to note that these items are classified here even if they are also affixed to plates made of non-steel materials, provided the primary construction involves diamond agglomerated with metal segments and steel plates.

This classification can be distinguished from its siblings primarily by the form of the diamond agglomerated material and its attachment. Unlike sibling 6804.21.00.10, which refers to individual segments intended for use in sawblades, or 6804.21.00.20, which pertains to articles with a *continuous* rim segment, this category focuses on articles composed of *multiple*, discrete segments of diamond agglomerated with metal. These multiple segments are then attached to a circular steel plate, distinguishing them from articles with a singular continuous diamond rim. The residual category, 6804.21.00.90, would capture any remaining articles of agglomerated diamond that do not fit the more specific descriptions.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 6804.21.00.30 hinges on the presence of multiple diamond agglomerated segments, their metallic bonding, and their definitive attachment to circular steel plates. The absence of cutting parts is also a defining characteristic, implying these items are not designed for the primary act of cutting but rather for abrasive operations or as components thereof.
