8202.31.00.00 - With working part of steel

This HTS category, 8202.31.00.00, specifically covers circular saw blades, including those used for slitting or slotting, where the working part of the blade is made of steel. This means that the teeth or cutting edge of the circular blade must be constructed from steel to fall under this classification. These are essential tools for cutting various materials, particularly in woodworking, metalworking, and construction industries.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 8202.39.00, which covers "other" circular saw blades and their parts. The crucial differentiating factor is the material of the working part. While 8202.31.00.00 is exclusively for steel-working parts, 8202.39.00 would encompass circular saw blades with working parts made from other materials or combinations of materials not solely steel, or parts of circular saw blades that do not fit the specific steel working part criterion.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of circular saw blades with steel working parts. The classification relies heavily on the physical composition of the blade's cutting edge to ensure accurate import and export declaration.
