What decides the code
A pizza cutter is a household handtool with a base metal cutting wheel, classified as a kitchen implement under heading 8205, specifically 8205.51.30.30.
- The cutting wheel is base metal, which places the tool in heading 8205 as a handtool.
- It is a household kitchen tool, which leads to the household tools subheading and the kitchen and table implements line 8205.51.30.30.
- The tool is hand operated with no motor or power source, so it stays a handtool rather than an electromechanical appliance.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 8211 for knives with cutting blades is wrong because a pizza cutter is a wheeled handtool of heading 8205, not a table knife.
- Classifying under 8205.51.30.30 as a glass cutter is wrong because the kitchen and table implements line covers household food tools, not glass cutting.
- Classifying under 8509 for electromechanical kitchen appliances is wrong because a pizza cutter has no motor.
