Overview
This HTS category, 7323.91.10.00, specifically classifies household articles made of iron or steel that are coated or plated with precious metal. This includes items like serving platters, decorative bowls, trays, and other similar wares intended for domestic use, where the primary characteristic defining their classification is the application of precious metals such as gold, silver, or platinum to the base metal article. The emphasis is on the precious metal coating as a key differentiator.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7323.91.50, which covers "Other" cast iron household articles not enameled and not coated or plated with precious metal. Therefore, if a cast iron article for household use is not enameled and lacks any precious metal plating or coating, it would fall under the "Other" sibling category. The presence and nature of the coating are the critical factors for distinguishing between these two subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, focusing on the specific characteristic of precious metal coating on cast iron household articles. All eligible items meeting these criteria are classified here, requiring careful examination of the material composition and any surface treatments to ensure accurate import or export declaration.
