Last updated: August 2026 dataCircular saw blades fitted with cutting elements of materials other than steel — most commonly tungsten carbide tips, diamond segments, or cermet inserts — dominate professional and industrial cutting applications where tool life and precision outweigh initial cost. The non-steel working part is the classification trigger, distinguishing these premium blades from their all-steel counterparts. Diamond-tipped blades used in concrete and masonry cutting, and carbide-tipped blades for engineered wood products, are the commercially significant subsets within this grouping.

Generally yes — if the actual cutting elements (the tips or inserts doing the cutting work) are non-steel material such as carbide or diamond, the blade is classified in the non-steel working part category regardless of how many tips are present or what material the blade body is made from.
A manufacturer's material specification sheet identifying the composition of the cutting tips, along with the commercial invoice describing the blade as carbide- or diamond-tipped, provides the clearest support. Customs may request laboratory analysis if the tip material is ambiguous.
