U.S. imports of hand tools (nesoi) and parts, base metal (HS 820559) totaled $56.8M in July 2026, traded with 70 countries.
Importers of Hand Tools (NESOI) and Parts, Base Metal paid $13.6M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 27% on $51.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataThe breadth of this residual heading is notable: it spans pipe tools (8205591000), powder-actuated fastening tools (8205592000), crowbars (8205593010), caulking guns (8205594500), single-edged razor blades not for shaving (8205595505), and a range of other edged and non-edged iron, steel, copper, aluminum, and other base-metal hand tools — each with its own 10-digit line. Taiwan leads US supply, followed closely by China, whose exports in this category are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The heading's catch-all character means classification disputes are common, particularly for multi-function tools or items that could plausibly fall under a more specific heading.

A single-piece tool combining prying, levering, and nail-pulling functions would generally be classified by its primary function or, if no single function predominates, under the residual 'other' lines within 8205.59. CBP binding ruling requests are advisable for novel multi-function designs, as the agency's prior rulings on similar articles provide the most reliable classification guidance.
Industrial single-edged razor blades (8205595505) are hand tools of base metal and do not trigger the same consumer-product safety review as shaving razors. However, if the blades are packaged for retail sale to consumers, CPSC labeling and packaging requirements may apply. Importers should confirm end-use and packaging format with their compliance counsel.
