Last updated: April 2026 dataAxes, adzes, machetes, and bill hooks each occupy distinct 10-digit lines within this heading — machetes at 8201403000, axes and adzes at 8201406010, and other hewing tools at 8201406080 — making precise product identification essential at entry. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with India a notable second-ranked source, reflecting established forging and hand-tool manufacturing industries in both countries. Chinese-origin goods in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs, which influences sourcing decisions for importers of commodity-grade axes and machetes. Blade steel grade, heat treatment, and handle material are common specification points that affect both commercial value and, in some cases, country-of-origin processing determinations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Machetes are long, broad-bladed cutting tools used primarily for clearing vegetation and are specifically enumerated at 8201403000. Bill hooks have a curved or hooked blade designed for pruning and lopping woody stems and fall under 8201406080. The blade geometry and intended agricultural or forestry use are the key distinguishing factors CBP considers.
Yes — parts of axes and hewing tools, including bare metal heads, are explicitly covered by heading 8201 and would be classified at 8201406010 if they are axe or adze heads. Importers should ensure commercial invoices clearly describe the article as a part rather than a complete tool to avoid misclassification.
