Product classification
HS code for Electric saw: 8467.22
Tools, for working in the hand, with self-contained electric motor, saws.
Classification of electric saw under HS 8467.22
Electric saws are classified under HS code 8467.22 because they meet the specific criteria for hand-held tools incorporating a self-contained electric motor. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), products are classified based on their physical design and intended use. Heading 8467 is reserved for tools that are operated while held in the hand. The 'self-contained' aspect refers to the motor being housed within the tool itself, which distinguishes these items from tools powered by external compressors or separate motors. Subheading 8467.22 is specifically designated for saws, covering various cutting mechanisms including circular, reciprocating, and chain-driven systems. This classification is critical for international trade as it separates portable consumer and professional saws from industrial-scale stationary machinery. The distinction is primarily based on portability; if a saw is designed to be mounted on a table or stand, such as a table saw or a miter saw, it is generally classified under heading 8465 (for woodworking) or 8461 (for metalworking). The power source, whether corded or cordless, does not change the 6-digit classification as long as the motor is integrated into the tool.

Codes often confused with 8467.22
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with stationary saws under HS code 8465.10 or 8465.91. These codes are for machines that work wood, cork, bone, or hard plastics and are designed to be placed on the floor or a workbench. Another confusion arises with manual hand saws (non-electric), which fall under 8202.10, and pneumatic saws, which are classified under 8467.19.

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).
