8302.41.60.50 - For curtains, draperies and window shades

This HTS classification, 8302.41.60.50, specifically covers base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles that are designed for use with curtains, draperies, and window shades. These items are intended to support, operate, or secure window coverings. Examples include curtain rods, traverse rods, brackets for curtain rods, finials, tie-back hooks, and components for roller shades or blinds, provided they are made of iron, steel, aluminum, or zinc.

While this category shares the broader scope of 8302.41.60 ("Other mountings, fittings and similar articles... suitable for buildings... Other: Of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc"), it is distinguished by its specific end-use application. It is separate from other sibling categories that might cover fittings for doors, windows (other than for shades), or other building hardware not directly related to window coverings. It is crucial to ensure the primary function and design of the article are for curtains, draperies, or window shades to fall under this precise classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of an article rests entirely on whether it meets the criteria of being a base metal mounting, fitting, or similar article, suitable for buildings, and specifically intended for use with curtains, draperies, or window shades, and made from the specified base metals.
