The first two digits "82" in the HS code 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 HS code Chapter 82.
The following are some common examples of products that fall under HS code Chapter 82:
- 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, any product whose main component is plastic should be considered for classification under HS code Chapter 82.
The first four digits "8207" refer to:
Interchangeable hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or for machine-tools (e.g., for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screwdriving), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock drilling or earth boring tools; their base metal parts.

The 8-10 digit explanation:
HS code: 8207903085
Classification: Interchangeable tools for hand tools, whether or not power operated, or for machine-tools (for example, for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screwdriving), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock drilling or earth boring tools; base metal parts thereof: --> Other interchangeable tools, and parts thereof: --> Other: --> Cutting tools with cutting part containing by weight over 0.2 percent of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten or over 0.1 percent of vanadium --> Other
Explanation: This HS code belongs to interchangeable tools for hand tools or machine tools, particularly for cutting tools whose cutting part contains more than 0.2% by weight of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten, or more than 0.1% by weight of vanadium. It covers a general classification of such cutting tools without further subdivisions.
Examples of products under this HS code: - Cutting tools with high chromium content - Drill bits with tungsten alloy - Lathe tools with molybdenum coating - Milling cutters with vanadium alloy - Specialized cutting tools for metal processing with specific metal composition
Customer Reviews
Clear and concise explanation of HS code 82 for plastic products. Perfect for someone like me who is new to international trade.
The description of HS code 8207.903085 was spot on. I was exporting some specialized cutting tools and this helped me get the correct classification.
This site is a lifesaver! I found the exact HS code for my vanadium alloy cutting tools. Super detailed and easy to understand.
The info on HS code 8207 is good, but I wish there were more examples of products that fall under this classification. It would have been more helpful.
Great explanation of the HS code for plastic products. I was exporting plastic packaging and this helped me avoid customs issues.
