8205.59.30 - Crowbars, track tools and wedges, and parts thereof

This category, HTS Code 8205.59.30, encompasses specific hand tools designed for heavy-duty prying, demolition, and fastening in construction and industrial settings. It includes items such as crowbars, commonly used for leverage and separating materials, and track tools, which are essential for the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of railway tracks. Wedges, also classified here, are used to secure or split objects by force. The scope extends to parts of these tools, ensuring that all components related to their functionality are correctly classified.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the 8205.59 level is crucial for accurate classification. While 8205.59.10.00 covers tools specifically for pipework, and 8205.59.20.00 pertains to powder-actuated handtools, this subheading focuses on tools that primarily rely on manual force and leverage for their operation in broader construction and heavy industrial applications. The "Other" designation at this level signifies tools not otherwise specified within the more granular sibling categories.

The subcategories within 8205.59.30 further refine the classification by differentiating between primary product types. Subcategory 8205.59.30.10 specifically designates crowbars, acknowledging their distinct form and primary function. The residual subcategory, 8205.59.30.80, captures all other eligible tools and parts that fall under the general description of track tools and wedges but are not classified as crowbars, allowing for comprehensive coverage of this tool group.
