U.S. imports of chain saws with self-contained nonelectric motor (HS 846781) totaled $4.1M in June 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Chain Saws with Self-Contained Nonelectric Motor paid $1.2M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 36% on $3.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Gas-powered hand-directed chain saws — the dominant form of nonelectric chain saw in trade — are consolidated into a single 10-digit line (8467810000) under this heading, simplifying classification but not duty exposure. Germany and Sweden are the leading sources of professional-grade chain saws, reflecting the global market positions of major European OEM brands; China and Brazil supply a significant share of consumer and mid-range units. Unlike their electric counterparts, these tools are not subject to Section 301 tariffs, but goods from certain origins may face antidumping scrutiny depending on market conditions. Engine displacement and bar length are the key commercial specifications that distinguish professional from consumer models, though the HTS does not subdivide on those criteria.

No. HTS 846781 is specifically limited to chain saws with self-contained nonelectric motors — meaning internal combustion (typically gasoline) engines. Battery-powered chain saws with a self-contained electric motor classify under heading 846722 (electric hand saws), specifically the chain-type line 8467220040. Confirming the power source before filing is essential to avoid misclassification.
The professional forestry and arborist segments demand high power-to-weight ratios, durability under sustained use, and certified safety features — specifications where established European OEM brands have long-standing reputations. Consumer-grade and mid-range units from China and Brazil compete on price in the retail channel, but the professional segment's preference for European-engineered products sustains Germany's and Sweden's leading positions in import value.
