U.S. imports of chain saw blades (lengths or cut to size) and parts, of base metal (HS 820240) totaled $6.2M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Chain Saw Blades (Lengths or Cut to Size) and Parts, of Base Metal paid $495K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $2.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataChain saw blades classified here are subdivided by alloy content of the cutting parts: lines 8202403000 cover blades whose cutting portions contain specified levels of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium, while 8202406030 and 8202406060 distinguish continuous-length stock from cut-to-size pieces. Switzerland leads US imports under this heading, followed by Canada and Sweden, reflecting the dominance of precision European and North American tooling manufacturers in the professional forestry and arborist supply chains. Importers should verify alloy composition documentation carefully, as misclassification between the alloy and non-alloy lines can affect duty liability.

The US schedule distinguishes blades whose cutting parts meet specific thresholds of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium (8202403000) from other base metal blades (8202406030 for continuous lengths, 8202406060 for cut-to-size pieces). Importers must obtain mill certificates or alloy composition reports from the manufacturer to support the correct line.
Imports of chain saw blades from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Goods from other major suppliers such as Switzerland, Canada, and Sweden are generally not subject to Section 301, though importers should confirm current applicability with a licensed customs broker given that remedy orders can be modified.
