7323.99.90.30 - Kitchen or tableware suitable for food or drink contact

This HTS category, 7323.99.90.30, specifically covers kitchen or tableware articles made of iron or steel that are suitable for direct contact with food or beverages. This includes a broad range of items such as pots, pans, frying pans, kettles, baking dishes, serving bowls, and utensils designed for preparing, cooking, or serving food. The key criterion for classification here is the intended use for food or drink contact, along with the base material being iron or steel, and not being coated or plated with precious metal.

At this level of detail, 7323.99.90.30 is distinct from sibling categories like 7323.99.90.40, which exclusively covers gates designed for confining children or pets. The sibling category 7323.99.90.80 serves as a residual provision for any other articles of iron or steel not specifically classified elsewhere within the 7323.99.90 heading, thus lacking the specific food-contact designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions within this heading will hinge on a thorough assessment of the product's design, intended use for food or drink contact, and confirmation that it is made of iron or steel and is not coated or plated with precious metal, aligning with the broader scope of heading 7323.
