8215.99.15.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8215.99.15.00, encompasses forks of base metal that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the 8215 heading. These are typically kitchen or tableware items designed for piercing, lifting, or conveying food. The key defining characteristic for this specific subcategory is that the forks possess handles made of stainless steel.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8215.99.10.00, by the value criterion. While 8215.99.10.00 specifically covers forks valued at under 25 cents each, this subcategory, 8215.99.15.00, applies to stainless steel-handled forks regardless of their individual value, provided they do not fit into more specific classifications based on other features or materials.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8215.99.15.00 is determined by the presence of stainless steel handles and the absence of more specific tariff provisions within Chapter 82 that might apply. Examples of items falling here would include standard stainless steel-handled dinner forks, salad forks, or dessert forks that do not meet the valuation criteria for the sibling category.
