8206.00.00.00 - Tools of two or more of headings 8202 to 8205, put up in sets for retail sale

HTS Code 8206.00.00.00 covers sets of tools that are specifically packaged and presented for sale directly to consumers. These sets must contain tools from two or more of the preceding headings within Chapter 82, namely headings 8202 (saws and blades), 8203 (pliers, pincers, wrenches, pipe wrenches, bolt croppers, etc.), 8204 (hand tools, including machine tools, for screwing or unscrewing screws and bolts), and 8205 (other hand tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, and chisels). The crucial element for classification under this heading is the retail packaging that bundles these distinct tool types together for end-user purchase.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its focus on sets of multiple tool types, as opposed to individual tools or single-item assortments covered in other headings of Chapter 82. For example, a single hammer or a set of screwdrivers would not fall under 8206.00.00.00; they would be classified under their respective individual headings (e.g., 8205.20 for hammers, 8205.40 for screwdrivers). The defining characteristic is the combination of different types of tools from specified preceding headings, presented as a unit for retail sale.

As a leaf node, 8206.00.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies solely on meeting the criteria of containing multiple, distinct tools from headings 8202 through 8205, and being prepared for retail sale. Examples include mechanic's tool sets, household repair kits containing various hand tools, or carpentry sets that include saws and chisels, all presented in a consumer-ready package. The specific types and quantities of tools within the set do not alter the classification, as long as the conditions of multi-heading inclusion and retail presentation are met.
