HS Code 820790

HS code 820790 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 : Other interchangeable tools". 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 820790 include interchangeable bits, tool inserts, cutting tool tips, indexable inserts, tool holders and similar items matching other interchangeable tools. 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 (820790) 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.
