Use this page to match your blade to the right six-digit code.
Heading 8202 is finely cut: 7 six-digit codes, 820210 to 820299, all of them under “Tools, hand; saws and blades for saws of all kinds (including slitting, slotting or toothless saw blades)”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 2 of 15 in Chapter 82, Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof, of base metal, which runs to 64 six-digit codes in all.

What is HS code 8202?
This heading groups saws and the blades made for them. It names slitting, slotting and toothless saw blades as part of the group. The saw or blade must be the main item you are shipping.
The goods sit in Chapter 82, which covers tools, implements and cutlery made of base metal. The official wording is formal, so the list below gives each code in plain words.
HS 8202 subheadings: hand saws and saw blades
The heading splits into seven six-digit subheadings. Each one covers a different type of saw or blade.
Always check the full official text in the table above before you file.
- 820210: hand saws
- 820220: band saw blades
- 820231: circular saw blades with a steel working part, including slitting or slotting blades
- 820239: circular saw blades whose working part is a material other than steel
- 820240: chain saw blades
- 820291: straight saw blades for working metal
- 820299: other saw blades not named elsewhere in this heading
How to choose the right code for saw blades
Start with the shape and use of the blade. A round blade is a circular saw blade. A long looped blade is a band saw blade. A blade made for a chain saw has a code of its own. A flat, straight blade for cutting metal has one too.
That is the part that does the cutting. If it is steel, the answer is 820231. If it is diamond, carbide or another material, the answer is 820239. Slitting and slotting blades follow the same test.
Use 820299 only as a last step. It is for saw blades that fit none of the other six codes.
Next, check whether a nearby heading fits better. Saws sold together with other hand tools in a retail set can fall under heading 8206. That heading covers sets that mix tools from 8202 to 8205. A blade made to fit a machine tool or a hand tool may belong to heading 8207, which is for interchangeable tools. Knives and cutting blades made for machines go to heading 8208.
Other hand tools have their own homes. Files, pliers and metal cutting shears are in heading 8203. Spades, pruners and other farm tools are in heading 8201.
Countries add extra digits after the six-digit code for their own tariffs. Rates differ from market to market, so check the national schedule. The HS code classifier can help you test a product before you file.
Where 8202 sits in the HS hierarchy
The HS works from the top down. First you pick the group of chapters, then the chapter, then the heading, then the six-digit code. Heading 8202 is the saw heading inside Chapter 82, and Chapter 82 belongs to the base metals group, Section XV.
If a product does not fit the chapter, no heading inside it will fit either. Start at the top and work down.
