HS Code 820780

HS code 820780 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Interchangeable tools for hand tools, whether or not poweroperated, or for machine tools (for example, for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screw driving), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rockdrilling or earthboring tools : Tools for turning". The first two digits (82) are the chapter — Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal — and digits 3-4 (8207) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 820780 include turning tools, lathe tools, carbide inserts, turning inserts, lathe cutters and similar items matching tools for turning. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (820780) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
