Last updated: August 2026 dataTwist drills, masonry drills, brad-point bits, and woodworking drilling tools for general-purpose use — distinct from rock drilling tools classified under 8207.13 or 8207.19 — are among the most widely traded cutting tools in the US market, serving construction, woodworking, and metalworking end-users. The US schedule under 820750 separates tools by application (masonry, woodworking, metal-cutting) and by alloy content of the cutting part, with dedicated lines for twist drills suitable for cutting metal (8207504030) and a catch-all for non-rock, non-metal drilling tools (8207508000). Germany leads US imports, with China and Thailand also significant sources.

Brad-point twist drills with cutting parts meeting specified alloy content thresholds have their own 10-digit line (8207502045), while standard twist drills suitable for cutting metal classify under 8207504030 regardless of point geometry. The alloy-content lines (8207502xxx series) apply when the cutting part contains the specified minimum percentages of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium; drills not meeting those thresholds fall into the non-alloy-specific lines.
Multi-material drill bits are classified based on their primary design and suitability. If the bit is engineered and marketed primarily for cutting metal, it would typically fall under a metal-cutting line such as 8207504030. Bits designed primarily for wood or masonry, even if capable of light metal work, would classify under the appropriate non-metal lines. Importers should document the manufacturer's intended use and product specifications to support their classification.
