High-Speed Steel Wood Drill Bit 1/2 Inch from China

A 1/2-inch diameter twist drill bit designed specifically for drilling clean, precise holes in wood, featuring a high-speed steel cutting edge with over 0.2% chromium and molybdenum for enhanced durability and heat resistance. It falls under HTS 8207.50.20.70 as an interchangeable drilling tool for handtools or machine-tools optimized for woodworking applications. The alloy composition exceeds the specified thresholds for chromium and molybdenum, distinguishing it from basic carbon steel bits.

Import Tips

Verify alloy content certification from manufacturer to confirm chromium/molybdenum levels exceed 0.2% for proper classification under 8207.50.20.70

Include detailed specs on cutting material and intended use (woodworking) in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification as general-purpose bits
