8207.90.60.00 - For handtools, and parts thereof 🖩

HTS code 8207.90.60.00 specifically classifies other interchangeable tools, and their parts, that are not suitable for cutting metal. This encompasses a broad range of tools designed for various operations on materials other than metal, such as wood, plastic, or composite materials. Examples include bits for driving screws or nuts, drill bits designed for soft materials like wood or drywall, and specialized attachments for woodworking or upholstery machines. The key distinguishing factor is the absence of a cutting edge or design intended for metal removal or deformation.

This category stands apart from other "Other" interchangeable tools primarily by its intended use and material resistance. While other subcategories within 8207.90 might cover tools for pressing, stamping, or even for more general purposes, 8207.90.60.00 is narrowed down to those designed for non-metallic applications or operations that do not involve cutting metal. It is crucial to assess the tool's design and the material it is intended to work with to ensure correct classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS system, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on correctly identifying that the interchangeable tool or its part is not designed for cutting metal. If a tool has interchangeable bits and some are for cutting metal while others are not, the classification will depend on the primary intended use or the most significant component if a single classification is to be applied.
