8205.59.30.10 - Crowbars

This HTS subcategory, 8205.59.30.10, specifically classifies crowbars. Crowbars are robust tools designed for prying, leveraging, and dismantling objects. They are characterized by a flattened, often wedge-shaped end, typically used to create leverage against a surface or object. The material is invariably base metal, consistent with Chapter 82.

While this category focuses solely on crowbars, its sibling category, 8205.59.30.80, covers "Other" handtools within the broader "Other" classification of 8205.59. This means that any handtool not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the 8205.59.30.x series, but still falling under the general description of "crowbars, track tools and wedges," would likely be classified under 8205.59.30.80. Therefore, the distinction lies in the precise identification of the tool; 8205.59.30.10 is for the specific tool known as a crowbar.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. All variations and types of crowbars, regardless of size, specific design (e.g., claw crowbar, wrecking bar), or minor feature variations, are encompassed within this single HTS code, provided they meet the definition and purpose of a crowbar.
