Overview
HTS code 8207 encompasses a wide array of interchangeable tools designed for use with hand tools or machine tools. These tools are essential for a variety of manufacturing and repair processes, including pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning, and screwdriving. The category also includes specialized items like dies for drawing or extruding metal, as well as tools for drilling or boring rock and earth. Crucially, the classification applies to the tools themselves and also includes their base metal parts.
This category is distinguished from other headings within Chapter 82 by its focus on *interchangeable* tooling. Unlike fixed implements or complete tools that are not designed for swapping out, the items under 8207 are intended to be attached to a driving tool (like a drill, lathe, or screwdriver) to perform a specific operation. While other headings in Section XV deal with base metals and articles thereof, 8207 specifically isolates these functional, specialized interchangeable tools.
The subcategories within 8207 provide a detailed breakdown based on the primary function of the interchangeable tool. This includes specific groupings for rock drilling or earth boring tools, dies for metal forming, tools for pressing and punching, and those for tapping and threading. Further subdivisions distinguish tools for drilling (other than rock), boring/broaching, milling, and turning operations. The "Other" category (8207.90) serves as a catch-all for any interchangeable tools not specifically listed in the preceding subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
