8215.99.35.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 8215.99.35.00, pertains to "Other" spoons and ladles that are part of the broader category of kitchen or tableware made from base metal. Specifically, it encompasses spoons and ladles that are not otherwise specified within Chapter 82 and possess handles made of stainless steel. The scope includes a wide array of serving spoons, soup ladles, and similar items designed for kitchen or dining use, provided their primary material for construction is base metal and their handles are specifically composed of stainless steel.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8215.99.30.00, which covers spoons valued under 25¢ each. Therefore, HTS Code 8215.99.35.00 applies to spoons and ladles with stainless steel handles that do *not* meet the valuation criteria of the sibling category, meaning they are valued at 25¢ or more per piece. The defining characteristic remains the stainless steel handle, differentiating these items from those with other handle materials or those falling under the lower value threshold.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Classification decisions will hinge on the precise nature of the spoon or ladle, confirmation of a stainless steel handle, and its value to ensure it is not classified under the lower-value spoon category. This category serves as a residual for spoons and ladles with stainless steel handles that are not specifically delineated elsewhere.
