7326.20.00.20 - Garment hangers

This HTS category, 7326.20.00.20, specifically covers garment hangers. These are articles constructed from iron or steel wire, designed primarily for the purpose of holding and displaying clothing, typically in closets or retail environments. The defining characteristic is their function in garment presentation and storage.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike belts and belting (7326.20.00.10) which are used for fastening or conveying, or various types of staples and pins (7326.20.00.30) used for securing materials, garment hangers are solely intended for clothing. Similarly, while double loop bar and wire ties (7326.20.00.40) are used for bundling or securing items, and paint roller frames (7326.20.00.55) are tools for applying paint, garment hangers have a distinct, singular purpose related to apparel. The "Other" category (7326.20.00.90) serves as a residual for articles of iron or steel wire that do not fit into the more specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 7326.20.00.20. Therefore, classification within this specific subheading is determined by the article's form and function as a garment hanger. Any article of iron or steel wire that meets this primary purpose will be classified here.
