8302.41.90 - Other

This classification, 8302.41.90, encompasses a broad range of miscellaneous base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles that are specifically designed for use in buildings, excluding those explicitly covered by preceding subheadings. These items serve functional purposes such as enabling movement, providing support, or securing components within the architectural structure. Examples can include various types of brackets, hinges, handles, and other fixtures not made of iron, steel, aluminum, or zinc, which are classified under the sibling category 8302.41.60.

The distinction between 8302.41.90 and its sibling lies primarily in the material composition. While 8302.41.60 is reserved for fittings made of iron, steel, aluminum, or zinc, this category is intended for those made from other base metals or alloys not specifically enumerated. This ensures that articles made from materials like copper alloys (brass, bronze), nickel, tin, or lead, when used for building applications, are appropriately classified.

Further breakdown within this category directs users to subheadings based on specific applications. For instance, within the broader "Suitable for buildings" context, items are subdivided into those designed for curtains, draperies, and window shades (8302.41.90.50), and a residual "Other" category (8302.41.90.80) for all remaining suitable fittings not otherwise specified. This tiered approach allows for greater precision in classifying a diverse array of building hardware.
