A 48 mm PDC non-coring (closed) drill bit, P1 type, with an AW female-thread connection. The published BTB classifies the product under Turkish GTIP 8207.19.10.00.12.
The BTB cites General Rules 1 and 6 and the Turkish Customs Tariff Explanatory Notes to heading 82.07. It also refers to an expert report from the Mining Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University.
The product's role in the drilling string is to act directly on the material as a replaceable drilling tool. Its threaded connection and use within a drilling system did not displace that cutting or drilling character; the BTB result falls in heading 82.07.
A visually similar article may produce a different result if it only connects the drill pipe to the bit and does not itself perform the drilling. Turkish BTB TR060000260014 classifies such an intermediate connector under GTIP 8431.43.00.00.00. Cutting surface, operating method and actual role in the drilling string must be verified together.
Diameter, thread type or the term PDC is not enough on its own. The record shows how the functional line between the working drill bit and a drilling-machine connection part can change the GTIP outcome.
