7323.99.30.00 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS 7323.99.30.00, specifically covers "Other" household articles and parts thereof, made of iron or steel, that are coated or plated with precious metal, excluding those plated with silver. This broad category encompasses a variety of items where the base material is iron or steel, and the precious metal coating is applied for decorative or functional purposes, but does not fall under the specific silver-plated classification. Examples may include decorative trays, serving dishes, or utensil handles with gold plating.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 7323.99.10.00, by the specific precious metal used for coating. While 7323.99.10.00 is exclusively for articles coated or plated with silver, HTS 7323.99.30.00 applies to items plated with other precious metals such as gold, platinum, or palladium. The key differentiator is the identity of the precious metal applied to the iron or steel base.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7323.99.30.00. Therefore, classification within this code relies on determining that an article is indeed made of iron or steel, is a household article (or part thereof), is "other" than those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, and is coated or plated with a precious metal that is not silver.
