Tungsten Carbide Cutting Insert
A precision-engineered insert made from tungsten carbide cermet, used in machining tools for cutting metals. It falls under HTS 8113.00.00.00 as a cermet article due to its composite structure of ceramic and metallic binder, providing high hardness and wear resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically shaped for cutting tools
Tools incorporating cermet inserts may classify under Chapter 82 as interchangeable tools rather than raw cermet articles.
If in millstone or grinding wheel form
Cermet grinding wheels are classified by function in Chapter 68 for abrasive articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cermet composition via material safety data sheets to confirm classification under Chapter 81
• Include certificates of origin for potential duty reductions under free trade agreements
• Avoid misclassification as pure carbide tools by documenting the metallic-ceramic matrix
