7615.10.11.00 - Pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like 🖩

This HTS category, 7615.10.11.00, specifically enumerates pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves, and similar articles manufactured from aluminum. These items are primarily designed for domestic use in cleaning, scrubbing, or polishing surfaces, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subheading is the material composition – aluminum – and their intended function as cleaning or polishing implements.

While the broader heading 7615 encompasses a range of aluminum household articles, this particular subheading narrows the scope to articles primarily associated with abrasive cleaning or polishing. It is distinct from other potential subheadings within the same parent category that might cover, for instance, ornamental or decorative aluminumware, or functional but non-abrasive kitchen utensils. The emphasis here is on the functional aspect of scouring, scrubbing, or polishing.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this subheading depends entirely on whether the imported goods meet the description of aluminum pot scourers, scouring or polishing pads, gloves, or similar items used for abrasive cleaning or polishing purposes. The physical form and intended use are the key determinants.
