About tools, hand; circular saw blades (including slitting or slotting saw blades), with working part of steel

HS code 820231 covers a crucial category of hand tools - circular saw blades made of steel. These saw blades are essential components in a wide range of industries, from construction and woodworking to metalworking and DIY. They play a vital role in the global economy, enabling the efficient cutting and shaping of materials that are fundamental to the production of countless consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

The production of circular saw blades with steel working parts typically involves several key steps. First, the steel is carefully selected and cut into the desired circular shape. The teeth are then precisely ground and set, ensuring optimal cutting performance. Heat treatment processes are often employed to harden the steel and improve the blade's durability. Finally, the blades may undergo additional finishing steps, such as coating or polishing, to enhance their appearance and functionality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 820231 items include high-quality steel, specialized machinery for cutting and grinding the blades, and various tools and equipment for the finishing processes. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on a skilled workforce capable of operating the necessary machinery and ensuring consistent quality control throughout the production cycle.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the circular saw blades themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These saw blades are used in the production of 4302 Machinery, 4303 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, 4401 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings, and countless other products that rely on the efficient cutting and shaping of materials.
