8204.11.00.30 - Open-end, box and combination open-end and box wrenches

This HTS category, 8204.11.00.30, specifically covers nonadjustable hand-operated spanners and wrenches that are designed with open-end, box, or a combination of both open-end and box configurations. These tools are intended for manual application of torque to fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, and are distinguished by their fixed jaw sizes that cannot be adjusted to fit different fastener dimensions. This classification is appropriate for individual wrenches of these types, as well as sets or kits containing only these nonadjustable varieties.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8204.11.00.60, which is designated as "Other." While 8204.11.00.30 enumerates specific types of nonadjustable wrenches, the "Other" category would encompass any remaining nonadjustable spanners and wrenches not explicitly listed, including parts thereof. Therefore, if a nonadjustable wrench does not fit the description of open-end, box, or combination, it would likely fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8204.11.00.30. The classification ends with the specific types of nonadjustable wrenches described. The primary focus for classification within this code is the fixed nature of the tool's gripping mechanism and its design as either an open-end, box, or combination thereof.
