Tungsten Carbide Tricone Drill Bit from China

A three-cone roller bit with tungsten carbide inserts containing over 0.2% tungsten by weight, used for earth boring in mining and construction. Classified under HTS 8207.19.30 for its high-alloy cutting edges that provide superior hardness against abrasive rock. Ideal for rotary drilling in soft to medium formations.

Import Tips

Provide metallurgical analysis reports proving tungsten content to justify alloyed classification

Avoid bundling with non-tool parts; ship as individual bits to prevent set classification issues

Check for IADC code labeling, common for tricone bits, to support rock drilling end-use
