Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 8302 encompasses base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, trunks, and other applications. The classification includes detailed subcategories for hinges (8302.10), castors (8302.20), motor vehicle mountings (8302.30), and other specialized hardware (8302.41-8302.60). This functional hardware category includes the components that enable moving parts and attachments in various structures and products. Items range from simple door hinges to sophisticated architectural hardware systems. Manufacturing processes include casting, stamping, machining, finishing, and in many cases, assembly of multiple components. Technical specifications focus on load-bearing capacity, cycle durability, dimensional precision, and appropriate corrosion protection for intended application environment. Unlike decorative elements, these products prioritize mechanical functionality while often also contributing to aesthetic design. This division represents precision-manufactured components that enable movement, adjustment, and connection functions in structures and products across numerous applications from buildings to transportation and furniture.
