Chapter 82 classification notes

Duty rates generally 0-8%. Knives and bladed articles may face import restrictions beyond customs duty — many countries restrict blade length and locking mechanisms. Anti-dumping on Chinese hand tools in some markets.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Power tool parts may belong in Chapter 84 or 85 if they are machine parts, not hand tool parts. Kitchen knives (8211.91) vs table knives (8215) — different classifications.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
