Mortise Chisel with Tungsten Alloy Edge
Heavy-duty mortise chisel featuring a cutting edge with over 0.2% tungsten for exceptional hardness and resistance to deformation during precise joinery work in woodworking. The bevel edge design allows for clean cuts in tight mortise joints. Falls under HTS 8205.30.30.00 based on the high tungsten content in the blade.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy content below specified thresholds
Standard composition without high Cr/Mo/W/V falls into other planes/chisels subheading.
If imported as parts for machine tools
Components specifically for wood-working machines classify under Chapter 84 parts.
If made primarily of laminated wood with minimal metal
Tools of base metal predominate; wooden bodies alone go to Chapter 44.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct metallurgical testing if challenged by customs; provide spectrographic analysis proving tungsten levels
