Last updated: August 2026 dataPackaged sets of two or more hand tools — including general-purpose and household tool kits — are classified together under this grouping rather than by individual tool type, which can affect duty treatment compared with importing the same tools separately. Classification hinges on whether the set's components all fall within the relevant subgroup; mixed-content kits that straddle multiple subgroups may require item-by-item analysis. Many hand tool sets sourced from major Asian manufacturing hubs are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation a critical compliance step for importers and distributors.

When a set contains tools that would individually fall under different subgroups, customs authorities generally classify the set by the component that gives the set its essential character, or may require separate classification of each item. Consulting a licensed customs broker before importation is advisable for mixed-content kits.
Many hand tool sets imported from certain origins are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable measure depends on the country of origin and the specific HTS subheading, so importers should verify current trade-remedy orders before shipment.
