Importers of Household Hand Tools (NESOI) and Parts, Base Metal paid $2.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $11.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMaterial composition is the organizing principle of the US tariff lines under this heading, with separate 10-digit breakouts for iron or steel (including kitchen and table implements at 8205513030 and general household tools at 8205513060), copper (8205514500), aluminum (8205516000), and other base metals (8205517500) — a structure that requires importers to confirm substrate material for each SKU in a mixed shipment. Carving and butcher steels with or without handles have their own dedicated line (8205511500). China is the dominant supplier, with Taiwan and Cambodia also contributing meaningfully to US import flows.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Carving and butcher steels, with or without handles, have a dedicated US tariff line (8205511500) within this heading. A honing steel is distinct from an abrasive sharpening tool; if the article uses an abrasive wheel or stone mechanism rather than a smooth or ridged steel rod, it may classify outside heading 8205 entirely. The physical operating principle determines the correct heading.
Because separate 10-digit lines carry different statistical and potentially different duty treatment, misidentifying the base metal can result in a CF-28 or CF-29 from CBP and potential penalties. For multi-material tools — such as a steel blade with an aluminum handle — the essential character or the component that gives the article its primary function typically governs the material classification.
