Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "82" represent plastics and articles of plastic.

Specifically, this classification is based on the material of the product. Any product primarily made of plastic, regardless of its shape, use, or degree of processing, will be classified under Chapter 82 of the HS code.

Here are some common examples of products that fall under the HS code 82 chapter:

  • Plastic raw materials: Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc.
  • Plastic sheets, plates, films, and tapes: Used for packaging, construction, agriculture, etc.
  • Plastic pipes and fittings: Used for water supply, drainage, gas, etc.
  • Plastic packaging products: Plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic boxes, etc.
  • Plastic furniture: Plastic chairs, plastic tables, etc.
  • Plastic toys: Various toys made of plastic.
  • Plastic medical devices: Syringes, infusion tubes, etc.

In short, if the main component of the product is plastic, it should be considered for classification under the HS code 82 chapter.

The first four digits 8205 represent the following classification:

Hand tools (including glass cutters), not otherwise specified or included; blow lamps and similar self-contained blow lamps; vices, clamps, etc., not parts of machine tools or water jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forging furnaces; hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames; base metal parts:

Specifically including:

  • Hand tools (including glass cutters)
  • Blow lamps and similar self-contained blow lamps
  • Vices, clamps, etc. (not parts of machine tools or water jet cutting machines)
  • Anvils
  • Portable forging furnaces
  • Hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames
  • Base metal parts

6-digit explanation: HS code: 8205.30

Classification: Hand tools (including glass cutters) not otherwise specified or included; blow lamps and similar self-contained blow lamps; vices, clamps, etc., not parts of machine tools or water jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forging furnaces; hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames; base metal parts;

Specific meaning: Includes planes, chisels, crank knives, and similar cutting tools used in carpentry, as well as their parts.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 8205303000 Classification: Hand tools (including glass cutters) not otherwise specified or included in other categories; blow lamps and similar self-contained blow lamps; vices, clamps, etc., not parts of machine tools or water jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forging furnaces; hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames; base metal parts; planes, chisels, chisels, and similar cutting tools used in carpentry, as well as their parts: --> Planes, chisels, chisels, and similar cutting tools used in carpentry, as well as their parts: --> The cutting part contains more than 0.2% chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten, or more than 0.1% vanadium in weight.

Explanation: This classification includes planes, chisels, chisels, and similar cutting tools used in carpentry, as well as their parts. The key is whether the cutting part contains a specific proportion of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium. If the cutting part contains more than 0.2% chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten, or more than 0.1% vanadium by weight, it falls under this classification.

Examples of products: * Carpentry planes with cutting parts containing high levels of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten * Chisels with cutting parts containing high levels of vanadium * Hand chisels used in woodworking with alloyed cutting edges * Parts of woodcutting tools made of high-alloy steel

Customer Reviews

LindaHarris ★★★★★

This page helped me understand the nuances of HS code 8205303000. The specific details about the alloy percentages were exactly what I needed for my woodworking tools.

JamesTaylor ★★★★

The site explains the HS code 8205.30 well, especially the part about the alloy content in cutting tools. I’m glad I found this before exporting my chisels to Germany.

EmilyBrown ★★★★★

I was looking for HS code information on plastic hand tools, and this page had exactly what I needed. The breakdown of the 8205.30 classification was thorough and easy to understand.

DavidMiller ★★★★

The site provided a good overview of the 82 chapter, but I had to do some extra research to confirm the exact classification for my plastic packaging products. Still, it was a solid starting point.

SophiaLee ★★★★★

I found the details on the composition of the cutting parts in HS code 8205303000 extremely helpful. It clarified the requirements for alloy content for my woodworking chisels.
