8205.30.30.00 - With cutting part containing by weight over 0.2 percent of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten or over 0.1 percent of vanadium

This HTS category, 8205.30.30.00, specifically covers planes, chisels, gouges, and similar cutting tools designed for working wood, where the cutting part contains by weight over 0.2 percent of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten, or over 0.1 percent of vanadium. These alloying elements are crucial for enhancing the hardness, edge retention, and durability of the cutting edges, making these tools suitable for demanding woodworking applications.

This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 8205.30.60.00, which encompasses "Other" planes, chisels, gouges, and similar cutting tools for working wood, as well as their parts. Therefore, this specific classification applies only to those wood cutting tools that meet the stringent criteria for high-alloy content in their cutting components, as outlined in the description. Tools not meeting these specific material compositions, or their respective parts, would fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the specific composition of the cutting part. Importers must ensure they have the necessary material analysis to confirm the presence of the specified percentages of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium to correctly classify their goods under this provision.
