7418.10.00.55 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 7418.10.00.55, specifically captures a residual category for table, kitchen, or other household articles made of copper, which do not fit into more specifically defined subcategories. This means it encompasses a broad range of utilitarian or decorative items intended for household use, primarily in the kitchen or for serving at the table, that are predominantly composed of copper. Examples may include copper ashtrays, decorative bowls, or specialized tools not falling under cooking or kitchen ware.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings. HTS code 7418.10.00.51 covers non-electric cooking and heating apparatus of a kind used for domestic purposes, such as copper stoves or chafing dishes. Additionally, 7418.10.00.53 is designated for more general cooking and kitchen ware, which would include items like pots, pans, and utensils explicitly designed for food preparation. This residual category serves as a catch-all for copper household articles that do not align with these specific functional descriptions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 7418.10.00.55. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise exclusion from the more narrowly defined sibling categories. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the primary use and functional characteristics of their copper household articles to ensure accurate classification. If an article serves a domestic purpose and is made of copper but does not meet the specific criteria for cooking, heating, or general kitchen ware, it will likely fall under this "Other" designation.
