Overview
This category, HTS 8202.91.60.00, covers straight saw blades specifically designed for working metal, excluding hacksaw blades. These blades are characterized by their generally rigid, linear form and are intended for use in various metal cutting operations, such as sawing, slitting, or slotting through metallic materials. They are typically made of base metal and are distinct from their flexible counterparts.
The primary distinction from its sibling category, 8202.91.30.00 (Hacksaw blades), lies in the intended application and design. While both are straight saw blades for metal, this classification specifically excludes the more common and often narrower "hacksaw" type blades, which are typically used with hand frames. This "other" category encompasses straight blades used in powered saws, band saws, or specialized cutting machinery where a rigid, straight cutting edge is required for metal fabrication.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies on accurately identifying the item as a straight saw blade made of base metal, intended for metalworking, and ensuring it does not fit the specific criteria of any other, more narrowly defined category at this level, such as hacksaw blades.
