Last updated: April 2026 dataAlloy composition drives the primary split within this heading: line 8205303000 covers planes, chisels, gouges, and similar woodworking tools containing over 0.2% chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten and over 0.1% vanadium — the high-alloy grades favored by professional woodworkers and furniture manufacturers — while 8205306000 captures all other variants and parts. China dominates US import volume, but the United Kingdom and Italy maintain notable shares, particularly for premium hand-plane and chisel brands sold through specialty woodworking retailers. Vietnam has grown as a mid-tier manufacturing source for this category.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A mill certificate or manufacturer's material specification sheet showing the percentage of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium in the blade steel is the standard supporting document. CBP may request this during a CF-28 inquiry, so obtaining it from the foreign supplier before shipment avoids delays.
No. A retail set combining tools from different subheadings of 8205 — such as chisels (8205.30) and a hammer (8205.20) — would instead be classified under heading 8205.90, which specifically covers sets of articles from two or more subheadings of 8205. The composition of the set must be reviewed before filing.
