HS Code 8207.90 – Tools, interchangeable; (for machine or hand tools, whether or not power-operated), for screw-driving or uses n.e.c. in heading no. 8207

HS code 8207.90 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, interchangeable, (for machine or hand tools, whether or not power-operated), for screw-driving or uses n.e.c. in heading no. 8207. It is used for screwdriver bits, nut setters, deburring tools, chamfering tools and countersink bits (for wood/plastic).

What HS 8207.90 covers

This 'not elsewhere specified' category within HS heading 8207 is a broad classification covering a diverse range of interchangeable tools for machine or hand tools, including those specifically for screw-driving and other specialized applications not explicitly covered by the preceding subheadings. It serves as a catch-all for tools performing various functions like fastening, deburring, chamfering, or niche cutting tasks. Trade in this category involves a wide array of manufacturers, from general hand tool producers to highly specialized industrial tool suppliers, catering to assembly lines, maintenance operations, and specific manufacturing processes. Key aspects include the tool's material, tip design for specific fasteners or applications, and compatibility with power tools or manual handles. This code reflects the vast and varied needs of global manufacturing and assembly industries.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
