HTS tariff line · chapter 82
8208.40.60
For agricultural, horticultural or forestry machines, and parts thereof: other (including parts)
Analysis
HTS 8208.40.60 covers for agricultural, horticultural or forestry machines, and parts thereof: other (including parts) under heading 8208 (knives and cutting blades, for machines or for mechanical appliances, and base metal…).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 41% of the 95 tariff lines in chapter 82. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing), an industry of 775 US establishments employing 25,058 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
All 6 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
