Last updated: July 2026 dataCircular saw blades whose cutting teeth or working surface are made entirely of steel — as opposed to carbide-tipped or diamond-segment variants — are classified here, with Italy and Japan among the leading US import sources alongside Thailand and China. The US schedule carries two 10-digit lines (8202310000 and 8202310001) for this heading; importers should verify which line applies at entry, as both describe the same product class. Chinese-origin blades are subject to Section 301 tariffs, influencing sourcing decisions for commodity circular saw blades used in woodworking and general construction. Blade diameter, tooth count, kerf width, and arbor bore are the specification variables that define product grades and are commonly referenced in commercial invoices.

The distinction is the material of the working part: 820231 covers blades whose cutting teeth are made of steel, while 820239 covers blades with working parts of other materials — most commonly tungsten carbide tips or diamond segments. A standard steel-tooth ripping blade for wood falls under 820231; a carbide-tipped blade for the same application falls under 820239.
Yes, provided the tips are still steel — even if hardened, induction-hardened, or stellite-tipped — the working part remains 'of steel' and classification under 820231 is appropriate. Only when the tips are a non-steel material (carbide, diamond, cermet) does the blade move to 820239.
