8205.10.00.00 - Drilling, threading or tapping tools, and parts thereof

HTS Code 8205.10.00.00 specifically classifies drilling, threading, and tapping tools designed for manual operation, along with their corresponding parts. This category encompasses implements used to create holes (drilling), introduce or cut screw threads (threading), and create internal screw threads in pre-drilled holes (tapping). Examples include hand drills, tap wrenches, die stocks, and reamers.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8205.10.00.00 is differentiated from 8205.20 (hammers), 8205.30 (planes, chisels, gouges), and 8205.40.00.00 (screwdrivers) by the specific function of the tool. While these other categories cover striking, wood-cutting, and screw-driving tools respectively, 8205.10.00.00 is dedicated to tools whose primary purpose is hole-making and thread generation. The "Other handtools" category serves as a residual for hand tools not otherwise specified.

As this HTS classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8205.10.00.00 hinges on the tool's design and intended use for drilling, threading, or tapping operations, and whether it is manually powered. Parts exclusively designed for these specific types of hand tools also fall under this classification.
