8203.20.20.00 - Tweezers

This classification specifically pertains to tweezers, which are hand-operated tools designed for grasping small objects with precision. Unlike broader categories of pliers, tweezers are characterized by their fine, pointed jaws, typically two arms joined at one end, allowing for delicate manipulation. They are commonly used in various fields, including electronics assembly, laboratory work, and personal grooming, where intricate handling of small items is required.

Within the broader heading for pliers and similar tools, this subcategory distinguishes tweezers based on their specific design and primary function of precise grasping rather than cutting, bending, or forceful gripping. While other tools in the same parent category might have broader applications or different primary mechanisms, tweezers are singularly defined by their fine, pointed tips for delicate manipulation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8203.20.20.00 is determined by the item being a tweezer and its material composition being of base metal, as per the overarching chapter and section headings. The specific design and intended use for fine grasping are the key determinants for inclusion in this classification.
