Overview
This HTS category, 7615, encompasses a broad range of articles manufactured from aluminum, designed for domestic and sanitary use. It includes common household items such as cookware, tableware, and kitchen utensils, as well as specialized items like pot scourers, scouring pads, and polishing gloves, all made from aluminum. The key unifying factor for goods within this heading is their primary function in the household, kitchen, or for cleaning and polishing.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires careful consideration of material and intended use. For instance, while other HTS chapters may cover articles of other base metals or of plastics, 7615 specifically targets aluminum articles. Furthermore, items with a primary industrial or specialized technical function, even if made of aluminum, would likely fall under different headings. For example, machinery components or specific industrial tools made from aluminum would not be classified here.
Within HTS 7615, further subdivisions refine the classification based on the specific type of article. The subcategory 7615.10 addresses general table, kitchen, and other household articles, alongside cleaning and polishing implements. In contrast, 7615.20 is dedicated to sanitary ware and its parts. This distinction allows for more precise tariff application based on whether the aluminum article is intended for general domestic use or for installation in bathrooms and other sanitary facilities.
