U.S. imports of knives with fixed blades (other than table knives), and parts thereof (HS 821192) totaled $16.1M in April 2026, traded with 38 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNon-table fixed-blade knives span kitchen and butcher knives, sheath-type knives, hunting knives, and other cutting knives, each subdivided by handle material across eight 10-digit lines. Hunting knives with wood handles (8211926000) and sheath-type knives (8211924050, 8211929045) carry distinct classification treatment from kitchen and butcher knives (8211922000, 8211929030). China dominates US imports, while Germany, Japan, and Switzerland supply premium chef's and specialty knives. Importers should note that certain fixed-blade knives may be subject to state or local import restrictions independent of federal tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Sheath-type knives — typically belt knives carried in a scabbard or sheath — are separately enumerated under 8211924050 (rubber or plastic handles) and 8211929045 (other handles). This distinction from kitchen/butcher knives (8211922000, 8211929030) and hunting knives with wood handles (8211926000) means that the knife's design and intended carry method, not just blade length or material, drives the correct 10-digit line selection.
Commercial invoices should itemize each knife style with handle material, blade type (fixed), and unit price. For German or Japanese premium brands, manufacturer certificates of origin and product specification sheets help establish both the correct 10-digit handle-material subheading and transaction value. If knives are imported as part of a branded set, the set classification rules under GRI 3 should be reviewed separately.
