Last updated: July 2026 dataStraight saw blades designed specifically for cutting metal — including hacksaw blades (8202913000) and other non-hacksaw straight blades (8202916000) — are the primary articles here, with Switzerland and China the leading US import sources. The hacksaw versus other-straight-blade distinction is commercially significant because hacksaw blades serve hand-tool and maintenance markets, while other straight blades are often used in power-fed machine applications requiring tighter dimensional tolerances. Importers sourcing from China should account for potential Section 301 exposure when calculating landed costs.

Hacksaw blades (8202913000) are narrow, hand-held or hand-frame blades with fine teeth designed for manual or reciprocating metal cutting. Other straight blades for working metal (8202916000) cover power-machine straight blades that do not meet the hacksaw definition. The distinction turns on design intent and tooth geometry, so product specifications and manufacturer documentation are key to correct classification.
Yes. Blades originating in China are potentially subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN rate. Switzerland and Sweden, which are among the leading suppliers, are not subject to Section 301. Canada-origin goods may benefit from USMCA treatment.
