More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the kit contains only shears and no other tools from headings 82.02 to 82.05
A set with only one type of tool from those headings would not meet the 'two or more' requirement of 8206.
If the kit is not put up for retail sale (e.g., bulk packed)
Without retail packaging, the tools would be classified individually under their respective headings.

• Declare the entire set under 8206.00.00, not as separate items, to avoid misclassification
