Importers of Drilling, Threading & Tapping Tools and Parts, Base Metal paid $189K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $758K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Both carbide-tipped and high-speed-steel drilling tools of base metal fall under the single 10-digit line 8205100000 when they are hand-operated or bench-mounted tools of heading 8205. Carbide-insert tooling for machine tools may instead classify under Chapter 82 cutting-tool headings or Chapter 84 machine-tool accessories, so a precise functional and material analysis is essential before entry.
Yes. Base-metal drilling, threading, and tapping tools originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable list and rate with a licensed customs broker, as the measures have been subject to ongoing review and modification.
