HS v2022 Code: 820220

About tools, hand; band saw blades

HS code 820220 covers a range of hand tools, specifically band saw blades. These tools are essential for various industries, including woodworking, metalworking, and construction. They play a crucial role in shaping, cutting, and modifying materials, making them indispensable for a wide array of manufacturing and DIY activities. The global demand for these tools remains strong, driven by the continuous need for efficient and precise cutting solutions across diverse sectors.

Production process

Band saw blades are typically produced through a multi-step manufacturing process. The initial stage involves cutting high-quality steel alloy into the desired blade shape and size. The blades then undergo heat treatment to enhance their hardness and durability. Precision grinding and polishing steps follow to ensure the blades have the necessary sharpness and tooth geometry for optimal cutting performance. Finally, the blades may be coated or treated to improve their corrosion resistance and overall lifespan.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 820220 items include high-carbon steel alloys, specialized machinery for cutting and shaping the blades, and various tools and equipment for the heat treatment, grinding, and finishing processes. Manufacturers may also require abrasives, lubricants, and other consumables to support the production workflow. Additionally, skilled labor, including machinists and metalworkers, is essential for the intricate manufacturing processes involved.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 820220 is a diverse range of hand-operated band saw blades, which are used in a variety of applications. These blades are often consumed by industries such as 820240 Saws, hand or machine, metal-working, 820510 Tools, hand, non-mechanical; for masons, joiners or the like, and 940630 Lamps and lighting fittings, n.e.s.; illuminated signs, name-plates and the like, where precise cutting and shaping of materials is essential.
