Beach Scoop Shovel
A large perforated steel scoop shovel designed for sand sifting at beaches, used in recreational horticulture cleanup. The base metal blade qualifies it as a shovel under Chapter 82, and it is not a head for manufacturing, so it falls under the 'other' sibling item. However, if it is imported as a head for further production, it could fit this item; otherwise, it is a complete tool.

A square-point shovel with a reinforced steel blade for scooping gravel, sand, or heavy soil in construction and landscaping.

Long Handle Spade
A traditional long-handle spade for deep digging in forestry and orchards, with a steel blade and base metal components. This is a complete spade, not a head for manufacturing, so it does not fall under this tariff item. It would be classified under the sibling item for other spades and shovels.

A heavy-duty shovel with a narrow pointed blade for digging post holes in agriculture and fencing, made with a forged steel blade and fiberglass handle.
