Overview

This HTS category, 8202.20.00.30, specifically covers bandsaw blades designed for cutting metal. These blades are characterized by their continuous loop configuration and are intended for use in bandsawing machines to perform precise metal cutting operations. The material composition of these blades is primarily base metal, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 82.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8202.20.00.60 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under bandsaw blades, this specific code is reserved solely for those intended for metal cutting. The sibling category would encompass bandsaw blades designed for materials other than metal, such as wood or plastics, even if they share a similar physical form.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 8202.20.00.30 hinges on the definitive purpose of the bandsaw blade being metal cutting. The intended application and the material being cut are the primary determining factors for goods classified under this heading.
