Carbide-Tipped Drill Bit
An interchangeable twist drill with carbide inserts containing over 0.2% tungsten and vanadium >0.1%, suited for precision drilling in lathes and machining centers. The high-alloy cutting part ensures durability in ferrous materials. Falls under 8207.90.30 due to the specified alloy thresholds in the cutting edge.

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 solely for threading or tapping operations
Threading tools have a dedicated subheading regardless of alloy in some cases.
If not qualifying as a 'cutting tool' but other interchangeable type
Non-cutting interchangeables like form tools go to the residual 'other' category.
If the cutting part is primarily millstones or natural stone
Abrasive grinding tools shift to Chapter 68 for non-metal cutting.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit lab analysis reports confirming alloy percentages in the cutting tip
• Label as 'for machine-tools' to prevent confusion with handtool drills
• Avoid bulk packaging without individual specs; customs may require disassembly for verification
