Overview
This HTS category, 7323, encompasses a broad range of table, kitchen, and other household articles primarily made from iron or steel. It also includes iron or steel wool, along with specialized items like pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves, and similar articles made from iron or steel. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the use of iron or steel as the primary material for articles intended for domestic use, with a specific emphasis on kitchenware, tableware, and cleaning implements.
Distinguishing category 7323 from its sibling categories at the Section XV level is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike categories for live animals (Chapters 01), which deal with agricultural commodities, or those for other base metals and their articles (e.g., Chapter 74 for copper, Chapter 76 for aluminum), 7323 is exclusively focused on manufactured goods made from iron and steel for household applications. The scope is specific to items found in a domestic setting, differentiating it from industrial iron and steel products or raw materials.
Within category 7323, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 7323.10.00.00 specifically addresses iron or steel wool, pot scourers, and similar cleaning or polishing pads and gloves. This allows for a distinct grouping of these abrasive or scrubbing items. The remaining "Other" subheading is a catch-all for all other table, kitchen, and household articles of iron or steel that do not fall under the specific provisions of 7323.10.00.00, encompassing a wide array of items like cooking pots, pans, cutlery, serving dishes, and storage containers made from these base metals.
