Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

HTS code 8211.93.00 encompasses knives that do not have fixed blades. This broad category includes a wide array of cutting implements where the blade is designed to retract or fold into the handle, distinguishing them from knives with permanently attached, non-folding blades. The defining characteristic is the non-fixed nature of the blade, allowing for safer storage and portability.

This classification is distinct from its siblings under heading 8211. It excludes table knives with fixed blades (8211.91), other knives with fixed blades (8211.92), and blades or handles intended for knives of other classifications (8211.94 and 8211.95, respectively). Therefore, 8211.93.00 specifically targets the complete knife assembly where the blade is not permanently affixed.

Within this category, further subdivisions are made to refine classification based on specific types and functionalities. Subcategory 8211.93.00.31 addresses folding multi-use tools where a folding knife blade is integrated alongside other tools within the handles. Subcategory 8211.93.00.35 pertains to pen knives, pocket knives, and other general folding knives, focusing on their primary design as personal cutting tools with folding blades. Finally, subcategory 8211.93.00.60 serves as a catch-all for any other non-fixed blade knives not otherwise specified, including relevant parts thereof.
