8302.41.90.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8302.41.90.80, covers "Other" miscellaneous articles of base metal that are suitable for buildings and are not specifically classified elsewhere within the broader "Other mountings, fittings and similar articles" and "Suitable for buildings" subheadings. It encompasses a residual group of base metal fittings, fixtures, and parts thereof that are designed for construction and building applications but do not fall into more precise classifications. Examples include specialized brackets, braces, or connectors not primarily intended for furniture or doors, as well as various fixings and supports used in building construction where their primary function is structural or decorative within a building.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8302.41.90.50, which is specifically designated for fittings related to curtains, draperies, and window shades. Unlike the more specific items covered by the curtain/drapery subheading, 8302.41.90.80 acts as a catch-all for building-related base metal hardware that doesn't fit into more narrowly defined product groups. Its scope is broader than, for instance, specific door or window hardware that might be classified under other subheadings within 8302.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories within 8302.41.90.80. Classification into this residual category relies on the fact that the base metal article is designed for building applications, meets the general description of mountings, fittings, or similar articles of base metal, and does not fit any more specific HTS subheading at the same or higher level. The key determining factor is the article's intended use and design for integration into building structures or components, beyond specific applications already provided for.
