Overview
This HTS category, 8467.11.50.10, specifically classifies "Rock drills." These are hand-held power tools designed for drilling into rock or similar hard materials. They are typically powered pneumatically and are characterized by their robust construction and the percussion mechanism integral to their operation, enabling them to break apart tough geological formations.
This classification is distinct from its sibling categories by its exclusive focus on drilling machinery intended for geological applications. For instance, 8467.11.50.20 covers general-purpose drills and screwdrivers, which lack the specialized design and power for rock excavation. Similarly, 8467.11.50.40 pertains to wrenches, a different tool type entirely, and 8467.11.50.90 acts as a residual category for other pneumatic rotary tools not specifically enumerated.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 8467.11.50.10 relies on the specific identification of the tool as a "rock drill," differentiating it from other rotary-type pneumatic tools based on its intended use and design for heavy-duty drilling in geological contexts.
