Overview

Chapter 83 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) encompasses a diverse range of miscellaneous articles made from base metals. Within this chapter, heading 8302 specifically covers a broad array of mountings, fittings, and similar articles, as well as various fixtures and functional hardware, all constructed from base metals. These items are generally characterized by their utility in supporting, securing, or facilitating the movement and operation of other articles, primarily furniture, doors, windows, and luggage. The scope includes a wide variety of functional hardware, ranging from hinges and castors to specialized automatic door closers and hat-pegs.

Distinguishing 8302 from its sibling categories within Section XV requires an understanding of the core materials and intended applications. While other headings in Section XV might cover more fundamental forms of base metals or articles where the base metal is a structural component of a larger machine or device, 8302 focuses on the hardware and fittings that attach to or are integral to the function of everyday objects. For instance, while chapter 73 covers articles of iron or steel, 8302's specific focus is on the *fittings* made of base metal for items like furniture or doors, rather than the doors or furniture themselves.

Heading 8302 is further subdivided to categorize these diverse articles based on their specific function and design. Subheadings like 8302.10 for hinges and their parts, 8302.20 for castors, and 8302.50 for hat racks and brackets provide more granular classification. Other subheadings address fittings specifically for motor vehicles or automatic door closers, indicating a need to differentiate based on the intended end-use or operational mechanism of the base metal article. This hierarchical structure allows for precise tariff classification based on the specific type and purpose of the base metal fitting.
