Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If permanently brazed onto drill bodies
Brazed or sintered onto shanks, they become non-interchangeable drill parts under 8207.
If for hand-held power drill bits
Knives and blades for power tools, including some drill inserts, shift to heading 8208.
If predominantly ceramic matrix composites
Cermet subheading separates ceramic-based from pure metal carbide sinters.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare ISO insert designations (e.g
• APMT) to aid customs in verifying tool tip status
• Provide supplier affidavits confirming >90% sintered carbide content
• Watch for reclassification if tips exceed certain sizes suggesting sticks rather than tips
