HS Code 8202.39 – Tools, hand; circular saw blades (including slitting or slotting saw blades), with working part of materials (other than steel)
HS code 8202.39 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, hand, circular saw blades (including slitting or slotting saw blades), with working part of materials (other than steel). It is used for carbide-tipped circular saw blades, diamond saw blades, ceramic saw blades, PCD (polycrystalline diamond) saw blades and TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) saw blades.
What HS 8202.39 covers
This category encompasses circular saw blades where the working part is made from materials other than steel, most commonly tungsten carbide, diamond, or ceramic composites. These blades are designed for specialized, high-performance cutting of tough materials like concrete, masonry, ceramics, and hardwoods, offering superior durability and precision compared to steel blades. They are indispensable in construction, stone fabrication, and advanced woodworking. Key players in international trade include specialized tool manufacturers and industrial suppliers. Importers are typically construction firms, stone fabricators, and advanced woodworking shops seeking high-performance cutting solutions. Exporters are often countries with strong material science and manufacturing capabilities, focusing on innovation in cutting technology. Factors like segment design, bond type, and abrasive material concentration are critical.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
