Circular Saw Blades with Steel Working Parts imports of $17.4M in August 2026 ran 36% above the year-to-date monthly average of $12.8M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCircular saw blades whose cutting portion is made of steel — including slitting and slotting variants — serve construction, woodworking, and light metalworking applications and represent one of the most actively traded saw blade categories. The steel-working-part specification is the key boundary: blades tipped with carbide, diamond, or other non-steel materials fall instead under the adjacent non-steel category. Section 301 tariffs have applied to circular saw blades from certain origins, and accurate material certification is important for both classification and trade-remedy compliance.

The working part is the portion that performs the cutting — the teeth or cutting edge. If those teeth are integral steel (including hardened or high-speed steel), the blade falls here. If the teeth are tipped with carbide, cermet, diamond, or another non-steel material, the blade belongs in the non-steel working part category.
Yes — slitting and slotting saw blades with a steel working part are explicitly included in this category alongside standard circular saw blades, provided the cutting portion is steel. The intended application (slitting sheet material versus crosscutting lumber) does not change the classification.
