8302.10.60.60 - Suitable for furniture and cabinets

This HTS category, 8302.10.60.60, specifically covers hinges and their parts that are manufactured from iron or steel, aluminum, or zinc, and are designated for use with furniture and cabinets. This distinguishes it from other categories within 8302.10.60, such as those intended for doors. While hinges classified under 8302.10.60.30 are suitable for interior and exterior doors, and 8302.10.60.90 encompasses other uses, this specific classification narrows the scope to applications within furniture and cabinetry.

The classification criteria hinge on the intended end-use of the article. Therefore, hinges that are demonstrably designed and manufactured for attachment to dressers, wardrobes, desks, shelving units, or other cabinet constructions fall under this heading. This includes a wide variety of hinge types, such as butt hinges, concealed hinges, and decorative hinges, provided their primary design purpose is for furniture or cabinet applications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions under 8302.10.60.60. The classification is therefore determined solely by the product's material (iron or steel, aluminum, or zinc), its function as a hinge or part thereof, and its specific suitability for furniture and cabinet applications, differentiating it from other hinge categories within the broader 8302.10.60 heading.
