8467 19
Overview
HTS Code 8467 encompasses a broad range of portable tools designed for manual operation, powered by pneumatic, hydraulic, or integrated electric motors. This category includes hand-held drills, sanders, grinders, saws, hammers, and similar devices intended for professional, industrial, or even advanced DIY use. The defining characteristic is their portable nature, allowing for operation without being fixed to a workbench or stationary platform, and their motive power source.
Unlike other machinery and mechanical appliances covered in Section XVI, HTS 8467 specifically targets tools designed for direct human manipulation during operation. For instance, while Chapter 84 includes larger stationary machinery, this chapter focuses on the tools themselves, not the fixed installations. Furthermore, it differentiates from tools powered solely by human effort (e.g., hand saws or manual screwdrivers not covered by this code) by requiring an external or internal powered motive force.
The subcategories within 8467 provide a crucial breakdown based on the power source and specific function. Tools powered by compressed air fall under "Pneumatic," while those with integrated electric motors are classified as "With self-contained electric motor." The "Other tools" designation is for those powered by hydraulic systems or other non-specified motors. Finally, the "Parts" subcategory is vital for the accurate classification of components specifically designed for use with tools classified under 8467, ensuring that repair and replacement parts are correctly identified.
