HTS heading 8467 is a broad product category for portable tools designed to be held and operated by hand. It includes certain pneumatic tools, hydraulic tools, and tools with a self-contained electric or nonelectric motor, along with qualifying parts. Examples may include portable drills, saws, grinders, riveting tools, and similar equipment, but the exact classification depends on the tool’s design and function.
The four-digit heading is only the starting point. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, follow the subheadings under 8467 and match the product’s principal function, operating method or power source, and whether it is a complete tool or a part. Subheadings may distinguish types of tools, such as drills or saws, and may further separate products by characteristics such as material, construction, or other listed specifications. Use the legal wording and tariff notes—not just a product name or marketing description—to make the final selection.
What to check
- Identify the tool’s primary function and describe what it does, not merely its brand or trade name.
- Confirm whether it is pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, or nonelectric, and whether the motor is self-contained.
- Check whether the shipment is a complete tool, an attachment, or a replacement part; parts may follow different provisions.
- Read every subheading under 8467 and compare any listed distinctions involving tool type, material, construction, or other specifications.
- Verify the proposed 8-digit code against the current HTSUS, classification rulings, and technical product documents; consult a customs broker or classification specialist if the wording is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
