8302.41.90.15 - Doorstops, chain door fasteners, door pulls, kick plates, door knockers and escutcheons

This HTS category, 8302.41.90.15, specifically covers a defined set of hardware for doors, excluding those for garages, overhead, or sliding applications. It encompasses items such as doorstops, which prevent doors from hitting walls or creating damage; chain door fasteners, designed for security and ventilation; door pulls, used for manually opening or closing doors; kick plates, installed at the bottom of a door to protect it from scuffing and impact; door knockers, for announcing presence; and escutcheons, decorative or protective plates surrounding a keyhole or doorknob. These articles are made of base metal and are intended for use on interior and exterior doors.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8302.41.90.45, which is also designated as "Other" but pertains to fittings for buildings. While both fall under the broader "Other" subheadings for mountings, fittings, and similar articles suitable for buildings, 8302.41.90.15 is more granular, specifically detailing the types of door hardware described above. The sibling category likely captures other miscellaneous base metal building hardware not explicitly itemized here or within other more specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific heading relies on the precise identification of the goods as one of the listed door hardware items, made from base metal, and intended for use on interior and exterior doors, with the explicit exclusion of garage, overhead, or sliding door applications. The material composition (base metal) and intended function are key determinative factors for this classification.
