Last updated: April 2026 dataSaw blades that do not fit the more specific categories — band, circular, chain, or straight metal-cutting — are captured here as a residual grouping, making correct prior classification analysis essential before defaulting to this code. Examples may include reciprocating saw blades, jigsaw blades, and specialty profile blades used in plastics or composite cutting. Because this is a catch-all category, customs authorities may scrutinize entries to confirm that a more specific provision does not apply, so detailed product descriptions and technical specifications are particularly important at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally yes — reciprocating and jigsaw blades are neither band, circular, chain, nor straight blades for metal, so they are candidates for the residual 'not elsewhere specified' category. However, the classification should be confirmed against the full schedule, as specific national tariff lines may provide more precise provisions.
Misclassification into a residual category when a specific provision applies can result in incorrect duty payment, potential penalties, and delays at entry. Customs brokers recommend reviewing the full blade description — material, form, and intended use — against each specific saw blade category before using the NES provision.
