Chapter 82 covers tools, implements, cutlery, spoons, forks, etc., of base metal, including hand tools, tools for machine tools, tools for mechanical appliances and similar tools. This chapter does not include power tools, electric tools or pneumatic tools themselves, but includes their interchangeable tools and tool heads. Heading 8207 covers interchangeable tools for hand tools (whether or not power-operated) or for machine tools, such as drills, milling cutters, reamers, taps, broaches, gear-cutting tools, etc.; it also includes tool heads for mechanical appliances and metal drawing dies, extrusion dies, etc. First 2 digits 82: Chapter 82, tools, implements, cutlery, etc., of base metal. Digits 3-4: 07: Heading 8207, interchangeable tools for hand tools or machine tools. Digits 5-6: 19: Subheading 820719, other milling cutters. Among these, 8207.1 covers milling cutters, and 8207.19 covers other milling cutters, distinguished from 8207.11 (end milling cutters) and 8207.13 (thread milling cutters), etc. This commodity is a milling cutter, but not an end milling cutter or thread milling cutter, so it is classified under 8207.19. If it were an end milling cutter, it should be classified under 8207.11; if it were a thread milling cutter, under 8207.13; if it were another cutting tool such as a turning tool, under 8207.8.

🎯 Classification Logic
Classification basis: According to the Import and Export Tariff and its notes, milling cutters belong to heading 8207, subheading 8207.1. Among these, end milling cutters are classified under 8207.11, thread milling cutters under 8207.13, and other milling cutters under 8207.19. When determining, it is necessary to confirm the tool type, structure and use. 820711 End milling cutters: End milling cutters are mainly used for face milling, with teeth on the end face; other milling cutters include end mills, keyway milling cutters, etc. 820713 Thread milling cutters: Thread milling cutters are specially used for machining threads, while other milling cutters are used for general contour, slot, etc., machining. 820750 Drills: Drills are used for drilling holes, while milling cutters are used for milling; their functions are different. 820780 Turning tools: Turning tools are used for lathe cutting, while milling cutters are used for milling machines; their uses and structures are different. Is it a milling cutter? Is it an end milling cutter or thread milling cutter? Does the material affect classification? Is it an interchangeable tool? Does it belong to other subheadings of 8207?
