Cutting disk Hs Code

Cutting disk harmonized system code

Product Overview Cutting disks classified under HS Code 680422 are abrasive cutting tools primarily composed of bonded abrasive grains, designed for high-precision cutting applications on various hard materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites. These disks typically exhibit standardized dimensions ranging from 100 mm to 355 mm in diameter, with thickness specifications between 1 mm and 4 mm, and are manufactured through advanced processes including resin bonding and vitrification to ensure durability and consistent cutting performance. The 680422 classification encompasses subcategories based on abrasive material type—such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and diamond grit—and bonding agents, distinguishing between reinforced and non-reinforced disks. Commercially, these cutting disks are integral to sectors including metal fabrication, automotive component manufacturing, and precision engineering, where they facilitate efficient, clean cuts in food service equipment production, retail hardware fabrication, and industrial processing lines. Their competitive advantage lies in their compliance with stringent quality certifications (e.g., ISO 9001), high wear resistance, and adaptability to automated cutting machinery, positioning them as reliable components in global supply chains requiring consistent product quality and performance. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 680422 is structured hierarchically as follows: Chapter 68 (Articles of Stone, Plaster, Cement, Asbestos, Mica, or Similar Materials), Heading 6804 (Grinding Wheels and the Like; Parts Thereof), and Subheading 680422 (Grinding or Cutting Wheels with Abrasive Bodies of Other Materials). This classification is justified by the product’s composition of abrasive bodies other than natural corundum or silicon carbide, bonded into a wheel for cutting operations. Trade considerations for cutting disks under this code include packaging in protective, moisture-resistant materials such as shrink-wrapped pallets or cushioned boxes to prevent mechanical damage and contamination during transit. Preservation involves maintaining ambient, controlled environments to avoid resin degradation or abrasive grain detachment, with shipping commonly conducted via containerized freight adhering to International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code when applicable. Quality standards mandate adherence to international norms such as EN 12413 and ANSI B7.1, ensuring product safety and performance consistency. All documentation complies with WTO regulations and international customs requirements, facilitating smooth import/export procedures and accurate tariff classification in cross-border transactions.
