HTS tariff line · chapter 83
8302.50.00
Hat-racks, hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures, and parts thereof
Analysis
HTS 8302.50.00 covers hat-racks, hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures, and parts thereof under heading 8302 (base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 7.5%. Compared with 8302.49.20 (coated or plated with precious metal), which pays 7.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 7.5 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 26% of the 58 tariff lines in chapter 83, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), an industry of 516 US establishments employing 21,451 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
