The first two digits of the HS code "82" represent "Metal products; tools, cutlery and parts thereof."
Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:
- Metal products: Includes various products made of metal, such as metal structural components, metal containers, metal toolboxes, metal furniture, metal pipes, metal wires, metal foil, etc.
- Cutlery: Includes various manual cutlery, such as kitchen knives, surgical knives, razors, scissors, etc.
- Tools: Includes manual tools, gardening tools, measuring tools, pneumatic tools, electric tools, etc.
- Parts: Refers to parts of the above-mentioned cutlery and tools, such as blades, saw blades, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.
Reason for classification:
The core of this classification lies in material (metal) and function (cutting, assembling, repairing, etc.). Any product mainly made of metal and used for cutting, assembling, repairing, etc., may be classified into Chapter 82 of the HS code.
Note:
- Specific classification still requires more detailed judgment based on the product's material, use, structure, function, etc.
- Chapter 82 of the HS code is a very large chapter, containing many sub-chapters and items. It is necessary to select the most appropriate code based on the specific product.
If you can provide more detailed product information, I can help you determine the HS code more accurately.

Customer Reviews
The note about needing more specific product details for accurate classification was a good reminder. I'll be sure to provide more info next time.
The detail on the classification of hand tools, including sets, was exactly what I needed for my business. Thank you!
The content is good, but I wish there were more examples of specific tools that fall under 8205.906000. Still helpful, though.
I found the section on the first two digits of the HS code (82) very informative. It gave me a good overview of what this chapter includes.
This site is a lifesaver for HS code lookups. The examples of products under 8205.906000 made it easy to understand what qualifies.
