Sintered Carbide Indexable Turning Insert
These are triangular or square-shaped inserts made from sintered tungsten carbide (cermet) used in lathe tools for metal cutting. They fit into tool holders for high-precision machining operations. Classified under HTS 8209.00.0030 due to their composition of sintered metal carbides and use as unmounted tips for tools.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mounted or assembled into a complete tool holder
Mounted tool tips or plates become part of finished tools under heading 8207, not unmounted items.
If made predominantly of cermets rather than sintered metal carbides
Cermets (ceramic-metal composites) have a separate subheading; material analysis determines the split.
If for non-machining uses like mill liners or wear plates
If not specifically for tools, sintered carbide plates fall under millstones and grinding articles in Chapter 68.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify certification of sintered metal carbide composition via material safety data sheets to avoid reclassification
• Ensure inserts are unmounted and not pre-attached to holders, which could shift to heading 8207
