Band saw blades are continuous, flexible loops designed to run on two or more wheels, which separates them from circular blades (disc-shaped) and chain saw blades (link-chain construction). The continuous-loop form is the defining physical characteristic for classification.
Antidumping and Section 301 tariff orders have historically covered certain saw blade products from specific countries. Importers should check current Commerce Department and USTR orders by origin and HTS subheading before finalizing sourcing decisions.
