U.S. exports of Drilling, Threading & Tapping Tools and Parts, Base Metal (HS 820510) totaled $2.1M in September 2026.
Importers of Drilling, Threading & Tapping Tools and Parts, Base Metal paid $249K in duties in September 2026, an average duty rate of 26.82% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: September 2026 dataImports of base-metal drilling, threading, and tapping tools — including twist drills, taps, dies, and reamers — from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin and classification review a routine step for procurement teams. The single US tariff line 8205100000 consolidates all variants of this heading, so distinctions between carbide-tipped and high-speed-steel versions, or between complete tools and replacement parts, must be resolved at the heading level rather than through separate 10-digit breakouts. Germany and Taiwan are significant alternative sources, particularly for precision-grade tooling used in aerospace and automotive machining applications. Buyers sourcing from Israel may also encounter specific duty treatment depending on the product specification.
