Overview

This HTS category, 8203.10.90.00, encompasses files, rasps, and similar hand tools designed for shaping, smoothing, or abrading materials, specifically those exceeding 17 centimeters in length. These tools are typically crafted from base metal and are essential for various manufacturing, woodworking, and metalworking applications. Examples include larger files used for aggressive material removal or finer rasps for detailed finishing.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its explicit length criterion. While 8203.10.30.00 covers tools not exceeding 11 cm, and 8203.10.60.00 addresses tools over 11 cm but not over 17 cm, this category specifically applies to tools that are longer than 17 cm. This precise measurement is a key differentiator for accurate customs declaration.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies solely on meeting the defined length requirement. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical dimensions of the files, rasps, and similar tools are accurately measured and declared to align with this specific tariff provision.
