This product features a high carbon steel hook and blade, fiberglass telescopic handle (which extends to 9 feet), a double pulley system, and a cutting capacity of 1 1/4". The item can be used for trimming or cutting tree tops.

The applicable subheading for the tree top pruner will be 8201.60.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for hedge shears, two-handed pruning shears and similar two-handed shears, and parts thereof. The duty rate will be 1 cent each + 2.8% ad valorem.
