Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 8205.30, specifically enumerates hand tools designed for working wood, namely planes, chisels, and gouges. These tools are characterized by their cutting edges, which are integral to shaping, shaving, and carving wooden materials. The scope extends to include any base metal parts that are essential components of these woodworking tools.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8205.30 focuses exclusively on cutting implements for wood. For instance, while 8205.10.00.00 covers tools for drilling, threading, or tapping, and 8205.40.00.00 pertains to screwdrivers, this section is dedicated to the removal of wood through cutting action. Similarly, it differs from 8205.20, which classifies hammers and sledge hammers used for striking.

The subcategories within 8205.30 provide further detail for classification based on the material composition of the cutting edge. Subcategory 8205.30.30.00 differentiates tools where the cutting part contains specific alloying elements (chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium) in defined weight percentages. All other planes, chisels, gouges, and their parts, not meeting these specific material criteria, fall under the residual subcategory 8205.30.60.00.
