8214.90.30.00 - Cleavers with their handles

This HTS category, 8214.90.30.00, specifically covers cleavers designed for butchers or kitchen use, along with their associated handles. These tools are characterized by their heavy, broad blades designed for chopping and cleaving through bone, meat, or other food items. The inclusion of handles in this classification is a key defining factor.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8214.90.60.00, which is designated for "Other" articles of cutlery not elsewhere specified or included within heading 8214. While the sibling category serves as a residual catch-all for a variety of cutlery items, 8214.90.30.00 is narrowly focused solely on cleavers and their attached handles, differentiating it from other less specialized tools or implements.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 8214.90.30.00 is definitive for items meeting the description of cleavers with their handles, and further subdivisions do not apply. The primary classification criteria are the tool's function as a cleaver and the presence of an integrated handle.
