About tools; knives and cutting blades, for machines or for mechanical appliances, for metal working

HS code 820810 covers a crucial category of tools and cutting blades used in metal working machinery and appliances. These specialized tools play a vital role in the manufacturing and fabrication industries, enabling the precise shaping, cutting, and processing of metal components. As a key input for a wide range of industrial activities, the products under this code contribute significantly to the overall efficiency and productivity of the broader manufacturing sector.

Production process

The production of tools and cutting blades for metal working machinery typically involves a combination of precision machining, heat treatment, and finishing processes. Manufacturers may utilize advanced computer numerical control (CNC) machines to shape the tools from high-quality steel alloys, ensuring consistent quality and tight tolerances. Heat treatment processes, such as tempering and hardening, are then applied to enhance the durability and cutting performance of the tools. Finally, the tools may undergo various finishing steps, such as polishing or coating, to improve their surface finish and corrosion resistance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 820810 items include high-grade steel alloys, specialized machinery (e.g., CNC machines, heat treatment furnaces), abrasives for finishing, and various consumables (e.g., cutting fluids, lubricants). Manufacturers in this industry also rely on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and quality control systems to ensure the consistent production of reliable and high-performing tools and cutting blades.

Production outputs

The tools and cutting blades classified under HS code 820810 are primarily consumed by the 8456 Machine tools for working any material by removal of material, by laser or other light or photon beam, ultrasonic, electro-discharge, electro-chemical, electron beam, ionic-beam or plasma arc processes, 8457 (Machining centres, unit construction machines (single station) and multi-station transfer machines, for working metal), and 8458 (Lathes (including turning centres) for removing metal), as well as a wide range of other metal fabrication and processing industries. These specialized tools are essential for the efficient and precise shaping, cutting, and machining of metal components used in various end-products, from automotive parts to industrial machinery.

Revisions to 820810

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 820810. The most recent 1 version of this code (820810) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
