What decides the code
An angle grinder is a hand-held power tool with a self-contained electric motor, classified under heading 8467, specifically 8467.29.00.10 for angle grinders, sanders and polishers.
- The tool is held in the hand and works the material directly, which places it in heading 8467 rather than a machine tool heading.
- The motor is self-contained electric, so the grinder falls under the subheading for tools with self-contained electric motor.
- The tool is a grinder, sander or polisher, which leads to 8467.29.00.10 for angle grinders, sanders and polishers.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 8460 for machine tools for deburring or grinding is wrong because 8460 covers stationary or guided machines, not hand-held tools.
- Using 8508 for vacuum cleaners or other household appliances is wrong because an angle grinder is a hand-held working tool, not a household cleaning appliance.
- Placing the grinder in 8205 for hand tools is wrong because 8205 covers non-powered hand tools, and this tool has a self-contained electric motor.
