Last updated: August 2026 dataDrawing and extrusion dies are precision tooling consumed heavily by the wire, rod, tube, and profile manufacturing industries, where die geometry and material directly determine product tolerances and surface finish. The US tariff schedule separates diamond wire dies (8207200030) — used for fine-wire drawing — from other drawing and extruding dies (8207200040) and their parts (8207200070), reflecting the significant duty and valuation differences between diamond-tipped and conventional tooling. Canada is the leading supplier to the US market, with Japan and China also prominent sources.

Diamond wire dies (8207200030) use a natural or synthetic diamond as the working element and are primarily used for drawing very fine wire to tight tolerances. All other drawing and extruding dies — including those with carbide or tool-steel working parts — fall under 8207200040. The distinction matters because diamond dies typically carry a different duty rate and may require separate valuation documentation.
