8207.60.00.61 - Other (including parts thereof)

This HTS category, 8207.60.00.61, encompasses interchangeable tools designed for boring or broaching operations, and their respective parts made of base metal. These tools are intended for use with hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or with machine tools. The scope of this classification is specifically for those boring and broaching tools that do not fit into more specific subheadings within 8207.60.00.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8207.60.00.30 covers "Broaches," which are specifically designed for finishing operations by removing small amounts of material to achieve precise dimensions and surface finish. Similarly, 8207.60.00.35 pertains to "Reamers," tools used to enlarge existing holes or improve their accuracy and surface finish, excluding specialized "gun reamers." Therefore, 8207.60.00.61 serves as a residual category for other boring and broaching tools not explicitly defined by these more specific sibling descriptions, as well as any base metal parts thereof.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 8207.60.00.61 relies on identifying tools whose primary function is to create or enlarge holes through material removal via a cutting action, and which are not specifically classified as broaches or reamers. Examples might include certain types of twist drills not covered by other headings, or specialized boring bars and their components when not specifically classified elsewhere.
