HTS tariff line · chapter 83

8302.41.30

Door closers (except automatic door closers), and parts thereof

Analysis

HTS 8302.41.30 covers door closers (except automatic door closers), and parts thereof under heading 8302 (base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors…).

The general duty rate is 3.9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 83 (72nd percentile of 58 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $390 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.9%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 11.5 times the general rate.

The other lines in the same group are 8302.41.60 (of iron or steel, of aluminum or of zinc, 3.9%) and 8302.41.90 (other: other, 3.5%).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), an industry of 532 US establishments employing 29,290 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
