Overview
HTS code 8205.51 encompasses household tools that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 8205. This category is a sub-division of "Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof." Crucially, these tools are designed for use in a domestic setting, distinguishing them from tools intended for industrial, professional, or agricultural applications. The primary classification criterion is their intended use and consumer-oriented design.
This specific subcategory, 8205.51, is differentiated from its sibling category, 8205.59 ("Other"), by focusing on a particular subset of household tools. While 8205.59 would cover any remaining household handtools not specified under 8205.51 or other more precise subheadings, 8205.51 is dedicated to a distinct group of these common domestic implements. The distinction relies on identifying the specific type and function of the household tool.
Within 8205.51, further subcategories exist based on the primary material composition of the tool. These include classifications for tools made "Of iron or steel," "Of copper," and "Of aluminum." This detailed breakdown allows for precise classification based on the metal from which the household tool is predominantly manufactured, catering to specific trade and duty requirements.
