HS Code 8207.60 – Tools, interchangeable; (for machine or hand tools, whether or not power-operated), for boring or broaching
HS code 8207.60 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, interchangeable, (for machine or hand tools, whether or not power-operated), for boring or broaching. It is used for boring bars, boring heads, broaches (round, spline, surface), reaming tools and counterboring tools.
What HS 8207.60 covers
This category covers interchangeable tools specifically designed for boring or broaching operations, which are crucial for achieving high precision and surface finish in metalworking. Boring tools enlarge existing holes to exact dimensions, while broaching tools create precise internal or external shapes, often in a single pass. These tools are vital for industries like automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery, where component accuracy is paramount. International trade involves manufacturers of high-precision cutting tools supplying to specialized machine shops and high-volume component producers. Key aspects include tool rigidity, insert geometry, material (e.g., carbide, cermet), and the ability to maintain tight tolerances. Broaching tools, in particular, are often custom-engineered for specific applications due to their complex profiles, reflecting a niche but high-value segment of the tool market.

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).
