How to understand the commodity classification of "cemented carbide round rods"-3[sales-manager301@wococarbide.com]

       

Secondly, a lot of controversy arose between item 8209 and item 8207. The focus of the contradiction lies in how to understand item 8209. "No matter whether the above-mentioned goods are sharpened or otherwise processed, as long as they are not mounted on tools, they are included in this Item; otherwise, it should be classified into the corresponding item according to the tool, mainly item 82.07. "As long as it is not installed on the tool". The opinion that insists on being classified into item 8207 believes that the name of the product is "carbide round bar" because the industry is uniformly named as such, and its function is actually solid carbide cutting tools, which are tools, so they do not exist on tools. In short, therefore, this product cannot be simply classified as "cermet rods". So is the understanding of "not installed on the tool" as described above?

structure



Item 8207:Tool + cutting portion, the cutting portion is interchangeable, and the tool is usually fixed or clamped on the machine and can be used repeatedly



Item 8209:Not installed on the tool (tool), through grinding, fluting, pointing and other processes can be processed into the cutter head (under 8209) rods, bars, rods, etc.



nature



Item 8207:Interchangeable tools



Item 8209:Part of interchangeable tools, consumable



 



It can be inferred that the understanding of “not installed on the tool” in Opinion 3 is inaccurate. Even if it is a complete tool that can be directly installed on the machine tool, it should not be classified as a complete machine tool with interchangeable tools. The "tool" in item 8209 refers to the tool that is welded or clamped to turning tools, milling cutters, drills, molds, or other high-speed cutting tools. In other words, as long as they are not welded or clamped to turning tools, milling cutters, Drills, etc., even if they can be used directly as cutting tools, they still do not meet the definition of interchangeable tools for machine tools in item 8207 and cannot be classified under item 8207. So, let’s go back and look at the product discussed in this article: Although the cemented carbide round bar does not require cutting or other grinding processes after exporting, it can be formed into a tool for direct use after only cutting the edge, but it is not welded It is used on or clamped on any tool, but directly installed on the machine tool. Although its function is similar to that of interchangeable tools, its structure does not exceed the description of item 8209. Therefore, the product should still be included in this item.
