Last updated: August 2026 dataAdjustable wrenches — commonly known by trade names such as Crescent-type wrenches — and their parts classify under a single 10-digit line (8204120000). China is the leading US import source, followed by Germany and Vietnam, a mix that spans both high-volume commodity tools and precision-engineered professional-grade products. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin adjustable wrenches, a cost factor that has prompted some importers to diversify sourcing toward Vietnam and other non-subject countries.

Adjustable wrenches under 8204.12 have smooth, parallel jaws adjusted by a worm screw, designed for gripping flat-sided fasteners. Pipe wrenches have serrated, angled jaws designed to grip round pipe and classify under a different provision (8205). The jaw geometry and intended workpiece — flat fastener versus round pipe — are the key distinguishing features CBP considers.
Importers must ensure that goods claimed as Vietnam-origin undergo sufficient transformation in Vietnam to satisfy the substantial transformation test for country-of-origin determination. Simply assembling Chinese-made components in Vietnam is unlikely to confer Vietnamese origin. CBP Form 28 inquiries and binding ruling requests are available tools to confirm origin before committing to a new supply chain.
