8302.41.90.45 - Other

This classification, 8302.41.90.45, encompasses "Other" base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles that are suitable for buildings, specifically for interior and exterior doors (excluding garage, overhead, or sliding doors). These are items that do not fit into the more specific subcategories of door hardware for buildings, but still serve a functional purpose for door operation, security, or aesthetics on such doors. Examples might include specialized hinges not otherwise specified, certain types of door closers not covered by automatic door closer provisions, or unique decorative escutcheons that do not fall under the listed sibling category.

Unlike the sibling category 8302.41.90.15, which specifically enumerates items like doorstops, chain door fasteners, door pulls, kick plates, door knockers, and escutcheons, this category acts as a residual for building door hardware. Therefore, if an item for a building's interior or exterior door is made of base metal and functions as a mounting, fitting, or similar article, but is not explicitly listed in a more precise subclassification, it will likely fall under this general "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 8302.41.90.45 requires careful consideration of the specific function and design of the base metal article, ensuring it is indeed intended for use on interior or exterior building doors and is not better classified under a more specialized heading or subheading. The primary criteria for inclusion are the base metal construction, its suitability for buildings, its application to interior/exterior doors, and its exclusion from more specific enumerated categories.
