8302.10.90.60 - Suitable for furniture and cabinets 🖩

This HTS category, 8302.10.90.60, specifically designates hinges and their parts made of base metal that are deemed suitable for use with furniture and cabinets. This includes a broad range of hinges designed for applications such as cabinet doors, drawers, shelving units, and other furniture components where secure and functional articulation is required. The primary classification criterion here is the intended application, focusing on the domestic or commercial furniture and cabinet industry.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8302.10.90.30 covers hinges specifically intended for interior and exterior doors, excluding specific types like garage, overhead, or sliding doors. In contrast, 8302.10.90.90 serves as a residual category for all other types of hinges not otherwise specified, highlighting the targeted nature of the "furniture and cabinets" classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8302.10.90.60 is definitive for base metal hinges and their parts whose design and construction are demonstrably intended for incorporation into furniture and cabinetry. This would typically be determined by the hinge's size, weight, load-bearing capacity, and specific mounting mechanisms, which are optimized for furniture applications rather than larger door systems.
