Band Clamp for Drum Sanding from Japan
A flexible band clamp designed to secure wood segments around drum sander drums, featuring a ratchet tensioner for controlled tightening. This manual workshop clamp is constructed with a base metal band and working parts, qualifying it as a hand-operated clamp under tariff item 8205.70.90. It is not a precision clamp for toolmakers or a surgical clamp, so it falls under the 'Other' category.

• steel) accurately on customs documents
