Last updated: August 2026 dataGrinders, sanders, polishers, screwdrivers, impact wrenches, routers, planers, grass trimmers, electropneumatic hammers, and electric scissors all fall within this residual electric hand tool heading, making it one of the broadest and most classification-sensitive subheadings in Chapter 84. Vietnam leads US import supply for this heading, followed by Mexico and China — a supplier mix that reflects both Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin goods and ongoing production shifts to Southeast Asia. The US schedule provides thirteen 10-digit lines, distinguishing angle grinders (8467290010) from orbital and straight-line sanders (8467290015), belt sanders (8467290025), and electropneumatic rotary and percussion hammers (8467290080), among others. Correct classification requires matching the tool's primary function and design to the specific named line before defaulting to the NESOI provisions.

Electropneumatic hand rotary and percussion hammers are specifically provided for under 8467290080. If the tool's primary design is a rotary-percussion or electropneumatic hammer — even if it can also drill — it should be classified there rather than under the drill heading (846721). When a tool performs multiple functions, classification follows the component that gives the article its essential character under GRI 3.
CBP requires evidence of substantial transformation in Vietnam, which for power tools typically means production records showing that key manufacturing steps — motor winding, housing fabrication, or final assembly with meaningful value addition — occurred there. Bills of materials, factory audit reports, and cost breakdowns distinguishing Vietnamese versus imported-component value are the core documents. Given the volume of Section 301 enforcement actions in this product category, importers should retain these records for at least five years.
