About heading 8207

Interchangeable tools for handtools, whether or not power operated, or for machine-tools (for example, for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screwdriving), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock drilling or earth boring tools; base metal parts thereof

Heading 8207 covers interchangeable tools that fit into handtools or machine-tools, plus base metal parts of those tools. It is split first by the operation the tool performs (rock drilling, die drawing, pressing or stamping, tapping, drilling, boring or broaching, milling, turning, and other tools), then by the material of the working or cutting part and by whether the tool is suitable for cutting metal. A separate line covers files and rasps.
