8201.90 - Other handtools of a kind used in agriculture, horticulture or forestry, and parts thereof:

HTS Code 8201.90 encompasses a diverse array of handtools specifically designed for use in agriculture, horticulture, or forestry that do not fall under the more specific categories within heading 8201. This residual classification captures tools that share the common characteristic of being hand-operated implements for tasks related to cultivating land, tending plants, or harvesting timber. It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings: 8201.10 (spades and shovels), 8201.30 (mattocks, picks, hoes, and rakes), 8201.40 (axes and hewing tools), 8201.50 (one-handed pruners), and 8201.60 (two-handed shears). These sibling categories are reserved for their explicitly named tool types.

Within 8201.90, further subdivision is provided to better categorize specific types of "other" handtools. Subcategory 8201.90.30.00 specifically addresses grass shears, distinguishing them from the larger hedge and pruning shears found in 8201.60. Likewise, 8201.90.40.00 is dedicated to forks, ensuring that these distinct agricultural and horticultural tools have their own clear classification. The remaining items that fit the general description of 8201.90 but are not otherwise specified are placed under the residual 8201.90.60.00. This hierarchical structure ensures that a wide range of specialized agricultural, horticultural, and forestry handtools can be accurately classified within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
