Last updated: April 2026 dataCircular saw blades, band saw blades, and other base-metal saw blades not elsewhere specified — along with their parts — fall under this residual heading, classified at the 10-digit level under 8202990000. Switzerland is the leading US import source, with China and Vietnam also significant, reflecting a supply base that spans high-precision European tooling and cost-competitive Asian manufacturing. Because this is a catch-all heading, classification disputes often arise when importers attempt to classify specialty blades (such as diamond-tipped or carbide-tipped circular blades) here rather than in more specific headings; confirming that no more specific provision applies is a critical first step.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
HTS 8202.99 is a residual provision covering saw blades not described by the more specific headings for circular blades with inserted teeth, chain saw blades, straight metal-working blades, or other enumerated types. Importers should work through the heading's structure systematically — if a blade fits a more specific description elsewhere in 8202, that provision controls. A licensed customs broker or binding ruling request can resolve ambiguous cases.
Parts must be shown to be identifiable as parts of saw blades — not general-purpose metal components. Useful documentation includes engineering drawings, manufacturer part numbers cross-referenced to a specific blade model, and a statement from the supplier confirming the part's sole or principal use. CBP may request this evidence during a CF-28 inquiry.
