HTS heading 8302 is a broad product category for base-metal hardware and fittings used with items such as furniture, doors, windows, stairs, trunks, saddlery, and similar goods. It also covers certain base-metal fixtures—such as brackets, hat pegs, and hat racks—plus castors with base-metal mountings, automatic door closers, and parts of these articles.
The 4-digit heading identifies the general family, not the final classification. To reach an 8-digit HTSUS subheading, first identify exactly what the article is, what it is designed for, and whether it is a complete item or a part. The tariff then commonly separates products by their type, intended use, construction, or the base material involved, such as iron or steel, aluminum, or another base metal. Read the full subheading descriptions and the relevant legal notes; do not choose based only on a product name.
What to check
- Describe the article’s primary function, installation location, and intended use before searching the tariff.
- Confirm the base metal and construction, including whether the item is made of steel, aluminum, zinc, or another metal and whether nonmetal components affect classification.
- Check whether the product is a complete fitting, a castor, an automatic door closer, a fixture, or a replacement part; these distinctions can lead to different subheadings.
- Compare all 8-digit descriptions under heading 8302 and follow the applicable section, chapter, and heading notes.
- Keep product specifications, drawings, photographs, composition information, and supplier documents to support the classification; seek a customs broker or binding ruling when the correct subheading is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
