8302.42.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8302.42.60.00, encompasses "Other" base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles specifically designed for use with furniture, which are not elsewhere specified within the broader category of 8302.42. This classification is intended for items that serve functional or decorative purposes on furniture, such as specialized hardware not covered by more specific subheadings. Examples might include unique drawer pulls, ornamental brackets for shelving, or specialized hinge mechanisms for specific furniture designs.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 8302.42.30 ("Of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc"), 8302.42.60.00 is not defined by the material of the base metal. Instead, it is a residual category for fittings and mountings suitable for furniture that fall outside of the material-specific sibling. Therefore, while 8302.42.30 would capture items like steel drawer slides or aluminum door handles for cabinets, 8302.42.60.00 would capture similar items if they were made of other base metals, or if their function or design made them distinct from those explicitly listed.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8302.42.60.00 hinges on ensuring the article is indeed a base metal mounting or fitting, is suitable for furniture, and does not fit into any more specific provision within the 8302 heading, nor its direct sibling category based on material. The primary determinant for inclusion here is the residual nature after more specific classifications have been considered.
