Last updated: August 2026 dataBroaches, reamers, and other boring tools are high-precision cutting instruments used in aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing to achieve tight dimensional tolerances in bores and keyways. The US schedule under 820760 distinguishes broaches (8207600030), reamers other than gun reamers (8207600035), and other boring tools (8207600060, 8207600061) — a granularity that reflects the distinct manufacturing processes and duty treatment applicable to each tool type. Germany and Japan are the leading suppliers to the US market, consistent with those countries' dominance in precision machine tool accessories.

Gun reamers (used in deep-hole boring, particularly for firearm barrels and hydraulic components) are specifically excluded from 8207600035 and classify under the NESOI boring tools provision (8207600060 or 8207600061). This exclusion reflects their specialized design — a long, single-flute or multi-flute tool with coolant-through capability — which CBP treats as distinct from conventional chucking or hand reamers.
Broaches (8207600030) are multi-tooth tools that remove material in a single linear pass to create a specific profile — such as a keyway or spline — and are not rotated during cutting. Reamers (8207600035) are rotary tools used to enlarge or finish an existing hole to a precise diameter. The distinction is based on the tool's operating principle and geometry, not just its name, so importers should provide technical drawings or manufacturer specifications when the classification is not obvious.
