HS Code for Boring tools

HS code 820760 is assigned to interchangeable tools specifically designed for boring or broaching operations. These tools are the cutting implements themselves, intended to be fitted into machine tools or hand tools, whether power-operated or not. The classification emphasizes their primary function: boring involves enlarging or refining existing holes to precise dimensions, while broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool to remove material, typically for creating non-circular holes or complex shapes. The "interchangeable" aspect signifies that these tools are designed to be easily replaced or swapped out in a tool holder, allowing for versatility in machining operations.

Products Included

• Boring bars and boring heads
• Single-point boring tools
• Multi-point boring tools
• Broaches (e.g., internal broaches, surface broaches)
• Reamers (when specifically designed for boring-related finishing operations)
• Tool bits for boring applications

Common Misclassification

Misclassification frequently occurs with other types of cutting tools. HS 820750 covers tools for drilling, which create holes from solid material, a distinct operation from boring. HS 820770 is for tools used in milling, which involves removing material with a rotating cutter to produce flat or contoured surfaces. HS 820780 includes tools for turning, used on lathes to shape cylindrical workpieces. It is crucial to differentiate based on the specific machining operation the tool is designed to perform. Furthermore, the machines that use these tools, such as boring machines, are classified under Chapter 84, not Chapter 82.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Boring tools?

The HS code for interchangeable tools used for boring or broaching is 820760.

Are drilling tools classified under HS 820760?

No, drilling tools are typically classified under HS 820750. Drilling involves creating a hole from solid material, which is a distinct operation from boring, which focuses on enlarging or refining an existing hole.
