What decides the code
A hand saw is a manual cutting tool with a toothed base metal blade and is classified under heading 8202, specifically 8202.10.00.00 for handsaws and their parts other than blades.
- The tool is a handsaw worked by hand, not a power-driven saw, so it falls in heading 8202 rather than the power tool headings.
- The toothed blade is of base metal, which is the material heading 8202 covers for handsaws and their base metal parts.
- The item is a complete handsaw, not a loose blade, so it takes 8202.10.00.00 rather than a separate blade line.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a hand saw under 8467 as a hand-held power tool is wrong because 8467 covers tools with a self-contained motor, and a manual saw has none.
- Classifying a hand saw under 8201 as a hand tool for agriculture or forestry is wrong because 8201 covers digging, weeding and pruning tools, not saws.
- Classifying a hand saw under 8205 as another hand tool is wrong because handsaws have their own heading in 8202.
