Planes, chisels, gouges and similar cutting tools for working wood, and parts thereof
Analysis
Subheading 8205.30 covers planes, chisels, gouges and similar cutting tools for working wood, and parts thereof, within heading 8205. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 5% to 5.7% with a median of 5.35%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8205.30.30 for with cutting part containing by weight over 0.2 percent of chromium… (5.7%) and 8205.30.60 for planes, chisels, gouges and similar cutting tools for working wood… (5%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing (332216). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
