What HS code 8207 covers
Interchangeable tools are working parts that you fit into another tool. You swap them when they wear out or when the job changes. Think of a drill bit in a drill, or a die in a press.
Machine tools here include presses, punches and drilling machines.
These goods sit in Chapter 82, tools of base metal. Some countries call the same number the HSN code 8207. The first six digits are shared worldwide, so a code you find here matches the code used by most customs offices.
Which 8207 code fits your tool?
Ask what the tool does. Then pick the matching line below. For rock drilling, also ask what the working part is made of. Cermets are hard materials that mix ceramic and metal.
- Tools for tapping or threading: 820740.
- Drill bits and other drilling tools that are not for rock: 820750.
- Tools for boring or broaching: 820760.
- Milling cutters and other milling tools: 820770.
- Turning tools: 820780.
- Screw-driving tools and anything else in the heading that has no better line: 820790.
8207 vs nearby headings in Chapter 82
The most common mix-up is with heading 8209. The key word is unmounted. A loose tip belongs in 8209. A tool made to be fitted and swapped belongs in 8207.
Heading 8208 is different again. If the item is a blade that slices, check 8208 first.
Hand tools that are not swappable parts sit in the earlier headings. Saws and saw blades are in 8202. Files, pliers and shears are in 8203. Spanners and wrenches are in 8204. Retail sets of those tools go to 8206.
