7320.90.50.20 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS Code 7320.90.50.20, encompasses "Other" springs and leaves for springs, of iron or steel, that fall outside the specific exclusions defined at higher levels of the tariff. It specifically pertains to articles of wire that are not designed for use in mattress supports and mattresses of heading 9404. The defining characteristic of this classification is its residual nature, capturing wire springs and leaves that do not fit into more narrowly defined subcategories.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7320.90.50.10, which is exclusively reserved for wire springs and leaves intended for mattress support and mattress applications. Any wire springs or leaves not meeting this specific end-use requirement for bedding products would generally fall under 7320.90.50.20, provided they are of iron or steel and not otherwise classified.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 7320.90.50.20 relies on ensuring that the article is indeed a spring or leaf for a spring made of iron or steel wire, and that it does not meet the criteria of any preceding or sibling categories within heading 7320. Practical examples might include certain types of tension springs, compression springs, or torsion springs made from wire, used in applications such as mechanical devices, tools, or general industrial equipment, provided they are not specifically for mattress construction.
