Last updated: August 2026 dataResidual agricultural, horticultural, and forestry handtools not enumerated elsewhere in heading 8201 are captured here, with the US schedule breaking out grass shears (8201903000), forks (8201904000), and two broader catch-all lines for other tools and parts. Vietnam leads US imports under this heading, followed by China and Mexico, reflecting the breadth of garden-tool manufacturing across Southeast Asia and North America. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods affect a significant share of the product range, particularly commodity-grade forks and grass shears. The NESOI character of this heading means classification disputes are common — importers must confirm that an article is not more specifically described under another 8201 subheading or a different chapter before using the residual lines.

A combination tool with both cultivating tines and a hoe blade should first be tested against the specific subheadings for hoes (8201300080) and forks (8201904000). If neither fully describes the article, the residual line 8201906000 or 8201909000 may apply. CBP's essential character analysis and the GRI 3(c) rule of last resort (the subheading that appears last in the schedule) guide the final determination.
Replacement tines imported as identifiable parts of a garden fork are classified under 8201904000 alongside complete forks, since the heading explicitly covers parts. They should be invoiced as 'parts of garden forks' with a clear description to avoid misclassification as wire or rod products under Chapter 73.
