8007.00.10 - Articles not elsewhere specified or included of a type used for household, table or kitchen use; toilet and sanitary wares; all the foregoing not coated or plated with precious metal

This HTS category, 8007.00.10, encompasses miscellaneous articles made of tin that are not specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 80. The primary defining characteristic is their intended use: they must be of a type commonly used for household, table, or kitchen purposes, as well as for toilet and sanitary wares. Crucially, these articles must not be coated or plated with precious metals to fall under this provision.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is important for accurate classification. Unlike tin plates and sheets (8007.00.20), tin foil (8007.00.31), powders and flakes (8007.00.32), or tubes and pipes (8007.00.40), this category captures finished articles designed for specific end-uses rather than raw or semi-finished materials or common forms of tin. The sibling "Other" (8007.00.50) serves as a residual category for tin articles not covered by any specific subheading, whereas 8007.00.10 is specifically for tin articles of household, table, kitchen, or sanitary use.

This provision is further subdivided to provide greater specificity regarding the intended application of these tin articles. The subcategories distinguish between articles "Suitable for food or beverage service" (8007.00.10.10), which directly implies items like pitchers, serving trays, or decorative tableware meant to come into contact with food and beverages, and "Other" (8007.00.10.50), which covers remaining eligible tin articles of a household, table, kitchen, or sanitary nature not specifically related to food or beverage service, such as ornamental items or bathroom accessories.
