Overview

Heading 8211 encompasses a broad range of knives designed for cutting purposes, excluding those specifically enumerated in heading 8208. This classification includes, but is not limited to, everyday cutting knives, utility knives, and specialized pruning knives. The defining characteristic is their cutting blade made of base metal, regardless of whether the blade is smooth or serrated. Parts of these knives, such as handles or individual blades, also fall under this heading when made of base metal.

This heading is situated within Section XV (Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal) and Chapter 82, which deals with tools, implements, and cutlery. It is important to distinguish heading 8211 from other headings at the same level that cover entirely different product categories, such as live animals (Chapter 01) or different types of tools and implements not classified as knives. The focus here is exclusively on items with a cutting blade functionality.

Within heading 8211, the primary subcategories distinguish between sets of assorted articles and other knives. The "sets of assorted articles" subcategory (8211.10.00.00) specifically covers collections of knives that are presented together, often for retail sale. The residual "Other" category accommodates all individual knives and their base metal parts that do not qualify as part of an assorted set, providing a comprehensive classification for the diverse range of knives not otherwise specified.

Go up to Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof of base metal
