Tools, hand; straight saw blades, for working metal

HS v2017 Code: 820291

About tools, hand; straight saw blades, for working metal

hs code 820291 covers a range of hand tools used for working with metal, specifically straight saw blades. These tools are essential for a variety of metalworking tasks, from construction and fabrication to repair and maintenance. The demand for these tools is driven by the ongoing need for metalworking in industries such as 251 Manufacture of basic metals, 281 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, and 331 Repair and installation of machinery and equipment, making this HS code an important part of the broader metalworking and industrial equipment supply chain.

Production process

The production of hand tools and straight saw blades for working metal typically involves a combination of forging, grinding, and finishing processes. Manufacturers begin by shaping the tool or blade from high-quality steel using forging techniques, which give the product its basic form and strength. The forged pieces are then ground and polished to achieve the desired cutting edge and overall finish. Finally, the tools may undergo additional treatments, such as heat treatment or coating, to enhance their durability and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 820291 items include high-carbon steel for the tool or blade, as well as various abrasives and finishing materials for the grinding and polishing stages. Specialized machinery, such as forging presses, grinding wheels, and polishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in metalworking and tool production is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 820291 is a range of hand tools and straight saw blades used for working with metal. These tools are consumed by a variety of industries, including 251 Manufacture of basic metals, 281 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, and 331 Repair and installation of machinery and equipment, as they are essential for tasks such as cutting, shaping, and finishing metal components. The output of this industry may also be used in the production of other HS codes related to metalworking tools and equipment.
