Overview

This HTS classification, 8205.59.60.00, specifically designates handtools of copper that are not elsewhere classified within the broader category of "Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof." This code applies to a variety of implements and tools designed for manual operation, whose primary construction material is copper. Examples may include copper hammers, chisels, pliers, or specialized tools used in trades such as plumbing or electrical work, provided they are not covered by more specific subheadings.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings primarily by the material of construction. While 8205.59.50.00 covers tools of iron or steel, and 8205.59.70.00 pertains to those made of aluminum, this code is reserved exclusively for copper articles. The sibling category 8205.59.80.00, also labeled "Other," would encompass handtools of other base metals not specifically listed under iron or steel, aluminum, or copper. Therefore, precise identification of the tool's primary base metal is crucial for accurate classification.

As a leaf node, this HTS code does not have further subcategories. Classification within 8205.59.60.00 is determined by the article being a handtool, not elsewhere specified, and composed predominantly of copper. If a tool meets these criteria, it falls under this specific subheading.
