8215.99.10.00 - Valued under 25¢ each

This HTS classification covers specific types of spoons, forks, ladles, and similar kitchen or tableware, along with their base metal parts, when these articles are valued under 25 cents each. This detailed subdivision ensures precise tariff application based on the individual unit value of these common utensils. The focus is on articles that might otherwise fall into broader categories but are specifically delineated due to their low unit cost.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8215.99.15.00, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" within the broader "Other" category for spoons, forks, etc., 8215.99.10.00 is strictly for items with a unit value below 25 cents. The sibling category would encompass similar articles valued at 25 cents or more. This price point serves as the primary differentiator for proper classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8215.99.10.00. Therefore, classification into this code hinges directly on fulfilling the stipulated unit value criteria. Examples of items that could fall here, assuming they meet the value threshold, include basic promotional cutlery, disposable-style metal spoons or forks, or other inexpensive tableware items manufactured from base metal.
