Chapter 82 covers tools, implements, cutlery, spoons, forks and parts thereof, of base metal. This chapter includes hand tools, power-operated tools, interchangeable tools, knives, razors, scissors, nail clippers, spoons, forks, etc. Note, however, that this chapter does not cover certain specialized tools or machines, such as mechanical appliances of Chapter 84. The core characteristic is that these articles are usually made of base metal, used for manual operation or as tools, and most have a cutting edge, working end, or specific function. Heading 8202 covers hand saws; blades for saws of all kinds (including slitting, slotting or toothless saw blades). Specifically includes: hand saws, band saw blades, circular saw blades (including slitting or slotting saw blades or toothless circular saw blades), chain saw blades, other saw blades. However, it does not include: mechanical saws of Chapter 84 (such as circular saws, band saws), and scissors, secateurs, etc. of Chapter 82. Circular saw blades under this heading are usually interchangeable tools used in power tools or machinery. First 2 digits 82: indicates Chapter 82, covering tools, implements, cutlery, spoons, forks and parts thereof, of base metal. Digits 3-4: 02 indicates heading 8202, specifically hand saws; blades for saws of all kinds. Digits 5-6: 20 indicates subheading 8202.20, i.e., circular saw blades (including slitting or slotting saw blades or toothless circular saw blades). Therefore, 820220 is a six-digit subheading. In HS classification, circular saw blades are further subdivided. Note that some countries may use 8-digit or 10-digit codes, but the first 6 digits are internationally uniform. The product is a circular saw blade, which is a type of saw blade, circular in shape, used for cutting. According to HS classification, circular saw blades are clearly classified under 8202.20, because 8202 covers various saw blades, and circular saw blades have a separate subheading. It should not be classified under 8202.10 (hand saws) or 8202.30 (chain saw blades), etc., nor under 8465 (machine tools for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials) or 8467 (hand-held power tools).

Product Name: The specific name of the declared commodity, such as 'circular saw blade', 'carbide circular saw blade', etc., should accurately reflect the product attributes. Material: Declare the material of the circular saw blade, such as high-speed steel, cemented carbide, diamond, etc., as well as the base material (such as alloy steel). Use: Explain the use of the circular saw blade, such as for cutting wood, metal, stone, etc., and the type of machine it is suitable for. Brand: Declare the brand name (if any); if no brand, indicate 'no brand'. Model: Declare the model or specifications of the product, such as diameter, number of teeth, thickness, etc. Whether toothed: Declare whether the circular saw blade is toothed (has teeth) or toothless, and whether it is slotted. Material to be processed: Explain the material the circular saw blade is used to cut, such as wood, metal, plastic, etc. Brand type: According to customs requirements, select 'foreign brand (OEM production)', 'foreign brand (other)', 'domestic brand' or 'no brand'. Product name: carbide circular saw blade; Material: alloy steel base, carbide teeth; Use: for cutting wood; Brand: no brand; Model: diameter 250mm, 60 teeth; Whether toothed: toothed; Material to be processed: wood; Brand type: no brand. Failing to indicate whether toothed, which may lead to misclassification under toothless saw blades or other subheadings. Material declaration is not specific, such as only writing 'steel', without distinguishing high-speed steel or alloy steel. Use description is confused with material to be processed, failing to specify the cutting object.

Core basis for classification: According to the General Rules for HS classification, circular saw blades belong to subheading 8202.20 under heading 8202. Key determining factors include: 1) the product is a circular saw blade, used in machinery or power tools; 2) it is an interchangeable tool; 3) it is not mounted on a machine. If a circular saw blade is presented together with a machine and constitutes a complete machine, it should be classified under Chapter 84. However, a circular saw blade presented separately is classified under 8202.20. 8202.10 Hand saws: Hand saws are manual tools, usually with a handle, while circular saw blades are interchangeable tools mounted on machines, without a handle. 8202.30 Chain saw blades: Chain saw blades are endless saw chains used in chain saws, while circular saw blades are circular and flat, with different shapes and uses. 8202.40 Other saw blades: Other saw blades include band saw blades, slotting saw blades, etc., but circular saw blades have a separate subheading and should not be classified here. 8465.99 Other machine tool parts: If a circular saw blade is a dedicated part of a machine tool and is presented together with the machine tool, it may be classified under 8465, but a circular saw blade presented separately is classified under 8202. 8207.90 Other interchangeable tools: 8207 covers interchangeable tools for hand tools or machine tools, but saw blades are clearly classified under 8202, not 8207. Is the product confirmed to be a circular saw blade? Is it presented separately, rather than integrated with a machine? Is it toothed or toothless? Is the material clear? Is the use clear?

What is the difference in HS codes between circular saw blades and band saw blades? Circular saw blades are classified under 8202.20, and band saw blades under 8202.40 (other saw blades). The main difference is shape: circular saw blades are circular, while band saw blades are endless bands. The shape must be specified when declaring. If a circular saw blade is imported together with a power tool, how is it classified? If the circular saw blade is presented together with a power tool and constitutes a complete machine, it should be classified under Chapter 84 (e.g., 8467 hand-held power tools). However, if presented separately, it is classified under 8202.20. Are toothless circular saw blades also classified under 820220? Yes, subheading 8202.20 explicitly includes toothless circular saw blades, so regardless of whether toothed, circular saw blades are classified under this code. Does the material of the circular saw blade affect the HS code? The material does not affect the six-digit subheading, but may affect deeper-level codes (such as 8-digit or 10-digit). At the six-digit level, all circular saw blades of base metal are classified under 8202.20. How to check the import tariff rate for circular saw blades? Tariff rates vary by country and change over time. It is recommended to check the importing country's customs official website or use an official tariff database, based on the specific HS code and country of origin. What declaration elements are required when declaring circular saw blades? Usually product name, material, use, brand, model, whether toothed, etc. are required. The specific requirements are subject to the importing country's customs. How to distinguish circular saw blades from grinding wheels in HS codes? Circular saw blades are classified under 8202.20, and grinding wheels under 6804 (millstones, grindstones) or 8207 (interchangeable tools), depending on material and use. Circular saw blades usually have teeth and are used for cutting; grinding wheels are used for grinding. If the circular saw blade is made of diamond, is it still classified under 820220? Diamond circular saw blades are usually classified under 8202.20, but if diamond is only used as an abrasive coating, they may be classified under 6804. Judgment should be based on actual structure and use.
