Welding Magnet Clamp from China
A magnetic square for holding metal at 90 or 45 degree angles during welding setup, with strong rare-earth magnets. This functions as a positioning clamp, and since it has a base metal working part (the magnets are not the working part, but the steel body is), it falls under tariff item 8205.70.90 as an 'Other' clamp. It is not a precision clamp or a surgical clamp, so it is excluded from the sibling items.

Import Tips
• Ensure the clamp is not classified as a magnetic holding device, which could fall under Chapter 85
• Declare the clamp as a hand-operated positioning tool
• Verify if the magnets are considered the working part, as this could affect classification
