About chapter 82

Chapter 82 covers tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof, of base metal: hand tools, kitchen cutlery and similar metal implements, classified largely by function rather than the specific metal used.

Classification tip: Knives and cutlery sometimes trigger destination-specific import controls or age-restricted sale rules (particularly folding/locking blades) that sit outside the HS tariff itself, so check local weapon-adjacent regulations for bladed items.

Chapter 82 FAQ

What does HS code chapter 82 cover?

Chapter 82 of the Harmonized System covers: tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof, of base metal. It belongs to section XV (Base Metals) and contains 15 four-digit headings, 8201–8215.

How many HS codes are in chapter 82?

Chapter 82 contains 15 four-digit headings and 64 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 8201 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 82?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
