Cabinet handle Hs Code

Cabinet handle harmonized system code

Product Overview Cabinet handles classified under HS Code 830242 are defined as functional hardware components designed for attachment to cabinet doors, drawers, or furniture surfaces to facilitate manual opening and closing. These handles are typically fabricated from metals such as stainless steel, brass, or aluminum through precision manufacturing processes including casting, extrusion, or stamping, followed by surface finishing techniques like electroplating, powder coating, or anodizing to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Physical specifications generally range from 80 mm to 160 mm in length, with ergonomic profiles to ensure user comfort and operational efficiency. Within HS Code 830242, subcategories include handles made of base metals with variations in design type—such as bar handles, drop handles, and recessed handles—and differing surface treatments. Commercially, these handles are widely utilized across food service equipment, retail display units, and industrial processing cabinetry, where hygiene, robustness, and compliance with safety standards are paramount. Their value proposition lies in combining structural integrity with aesthetic adaptability, ensuring compatibility with diverse application environments while maintaining cost-effectiveness for large-scale procurement. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 830242 is structured as follows: Chapter 83 (Miscellaneous articles of base metal), Heading 8302 (Base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, windows, blinds, coachwork), and Subheading 830242 (Handles and handspikes of base metal). This classification is appropriate due to the handle’s composition of base metals and its functional role as a furniture fitting, consistent with World Customs Organization (WCO) nomenclature. Trade professionals must adhere to packaging standards that protect against mechanical damage and corrosion, commonly involving individual wrapping in polyethylene films and bulk packing in reinforced cartons or wooden crates. Preservation methods may include desiccants or anti-corrosion coatings to ensure product integrity during transit and storage. Shipping requirements emphasize compliance with international maritime regulations, including accurate HS code declaration for customs clearance. Quality standards conform to ISO 9001 manufacturing protocols, with dimensional tolerances typically within ±0.5 mm and surface hardness ranging from 150 to 250 HV depending on material. This classification and specification framework facilitates precise customs documentation, tariff determination, and adherence to WTO trade facilitation agreements.

Cabinet handle Chapter Note

1.- For the purposes of this Chapter, parts of base metal are to be classified with their parent articles. However, articles of iron or steel of heading 73.12, 73.15, 73.17, 73.18 or 73.20, or similar articles of other base metal (Chapters 74 to 76 and 78 to 81) are not to be taken as parts of articles of this Chapter. 2.- For the purposes of heading 83.02, the word “castors” means those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) not exceeding 75 mm, or those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) exceeding 75 mm provided that the width of the wheel or tyre fitted thereto is less than 30 mm.
