Last updated: August 2026 dataGas-powered grass and weed trimmers, brushcutters, agricultural and horticultural hand tools, and metalworking hand tools with nonelectric self-contained motors all fall within this heading when they do not qualify as chain saws. Germany leads US import supply, with Sweden and China as significant secondary sources — a pattern consistent with the European OEM dominance seen across professional-grade nonelectric hand tools. The US schedule separates metalworking applications (8467891000) from gas-powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters (8467895030), agricultural and horticultural tools (8467895060), and a broad NESOI line (8467895090), so end-use sector and application type are the primary classification determinants. Importers should confirm whether a multi-function outdoor power tool's primary design is trimming, cutting, or another function before selecting the applicable 10-digit line.

Chain saws (846781) use a continuous loop chain on a guide bar to cut wood. Brushcutters and grass/weed trimmers use a rotating blade, line, or disc and are designed primarily for vegetation management rather than timber cutting. Gas-powered brushcutters classify under 8467895030 within heading 846789, not under 846781, even when they are capable of cutting small woody stems.
Line 8467891000 covers hand-directed or hand-controlled tools with self-contained nonelectric motors specifically designed for metalworking applications — such as pneumatic or combustion-powered metal grinders or cutters used in fabrication. The NESOI line (8467895090) captures all remaining nonelectric hand tools not provided for in the named lines. Importers should document the tool's intended application and design to support the metalworking classification if claimed.
