HS Code for Air impact wrench

Air impact wrenches are classified under HS code 8467.11. This code is part of Chapter 84 and falls under heading 8467, which covers tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic, or with self-contained electric or non-electric motor. Subheading 8467.11 specifically identifies pneumatic tools that are of the rotary type, including those with combined rotary-percussion mechanisms. An air impact wrench fits this description perfectly as it is a hand-held tool powered by compressed air that uses a rotary mechanism to deliver high torque output through an internal hammering action. The classification is determined by the tool's portability (designed to be held in the hand during operation), its power source (pneumatic/compressed air), and its motion (rotary). This distinguishes it from stationary power tools or tools powered by electricity.

Products Included

• Pneumatic impact wrenches (all drive sizes)
• Air ratchets
• Pneumatic nut runners
• Pneumatic screwdrivers (rotary)
• Air-powered grinders (hand-held)

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is HS code 8467.21, which covers electric drills of all kinds. While the function (rotating a bit or socket) is similar, the power source is the primary determinant; electric tools belong in 8467.21-29, while pneumatic tools belong in 8467.11-19. Additionally, if the tool is not rotary (like a pneumatic chipping hammer), it would be classified under 8467.19 rather than 8467.11.

FAQ

What is the HS code for air impact wrench?

The HS code for a pneumatic rotary air impact wrench is 8467.11.

Are the sockets for the impact wrench included in this code?

No, interchangeable tool bits and sockets are classified under heading 8207, as they are considered tools for hand tools rather than parts of the machine itself.
