Milling tools Hs Code

Milling tools harmonized system code

Product Overview Milling tools classified under HS Code 820770 encompass specialized cutting instruments primarily utilized in machining operations to shape, cut, and finish metal or other rigid materials. These tools are typically composed of high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, or cobalt alloys, engineered for durability, precision, and thermal resistance. Within this classification, milling cutters vary in geometry, including face mills, end mills, slot drills, and fly cutters, each designed for specific milling processes such as contouring, slotting, and surface finishing. The product range under 820770 is characterized by exacting dimensional tolerances, defined cutting angles, and surface hardness ratings generally exceeding HRC 60 to ensure operational efficiency and extended tool life. These tools are integral to sectors such as automotive, aerospace, metal fabrication, and general manufacturing, where precision machining is critical. Their competitive advantage lies in enhanced cutting performance, compatibility with CNC machinery, and compliance with international metallurgical standards, positioning them as essential components within industrial supply chains and global manufacturing processes. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 820770 is situated within Chapter 82 (Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof), specifically under Heading 8207 (Interchangeable tools for hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or for machine-tools). The six-digit code 820770 delineates milling cutters distinct from other cutting tools based on their function and design parameters. Classification under this code is justified by the tool’s application in rotary cutting processes and its construction from specific tool-grade materials. For international trade, milling tools under 820770 are typically packaged in protective cases or blister packs to prevent damage and corrosion during transit, often accompanied by desiccants or anti-rust paper to maintain quality. Shipping protocols adhere to standard customs documentation requirements, including detailed product descriptions, country of origin, and compliance with WTO agreements. Quality standards commonly referenced include ISO 8688-2 (for milling cutters) and ANSI B94.15, ensuring consistency in performance and interchangeability. These specifications facilitate accurate customs clearance, tariff application, and adherence to global trade regulations.

Milling tools Chapter Note

1.- Apart from blow lamps, portable forges, grinding wheels with frameworks, manicure or pedicure sets, and goods of heading 82.09, this Chapter covers only articles with a blade, working edge, working surface or other working part of : (a) Base metal; (b) Metal carbides or cermets; (c) Precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed) on a support of base metal, metal carbide or cermet; or (d) Abrasive materials on a support of base metal, provided that the articles have cutting teeth, flutes, grooves, or the like, of base metal, which retain their identity and function after the application of the abrasive. 2.- Parts of base metal of the articles of this Chapter are to be classified with the articles of which they are parts, except parts separately specified as such and tool-holders for hand tools (heading 84.66). However, parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to Section XV are in all cases excluded from this Chapter. Heads, blades and cutting plates for electric shavers or electric hair clippers are to be classified in heading 85.10. 3.- Sets consisting of one or more knives of heading 82.11 and at least an equal number of articles of heading 82.15 are to be classified in heading 82.15.
