Door closer Hs Code

Door closer harmonized system code

Product Overview Door closers classified under HS Code 830260 are mechanical devices designed to automatically close doors after opening, ensuring controlled door operation and enhanced security. These devices are typically constructed from durable metals such as steel or aluminum alloys, with finishes that resist corrosion and wear. Standard physical specifications include adjustable closing speed, latching action, and backcheck functions, meeting diverse operational requirements. Processing levels range from basic manual models to advanced hydraulic or pneumatic variants, incorporating precision engineering for smooth, reliable performance. The HS Code 830260 encompasses various subcategories including hinges, clasps, and other mountings, with door closers specifically identified by their function and design features. Commercially, door closers are extensively utilized in food service establishments, retail outlets, and processing plants to maintain hygiene, energy efficiency, and safety by controlling door closure and preventing contamination or heat loss. Their value proposition lies in compliance with fire safety regulations, durability under high-frequency use, and adaptability to multiple door types, positioning them as essential components in commercial and industrial infrastructures. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 830260 is structured as follows: Chapter 83 (Miscellaneous articles of base metal), Heading 8302 (Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for buildings), and Subheading 830260 (Other mountings, fittings and similar articles, of base metal). Door closers fall under this classification due to their composition of base metals and their specific application as door hardware. Classification is justified by the device’s mechanical function in door operation, distinguishing it from electrical or purely decorative fittings. Trade considerations involve packaging that protects against moisture and mechanical damage, typically using sealed cartons with internal cushioning and desiccants to preserve metal integrity during transit. Shipping requirements prioritize stacking strength and compliance with international shipping standards (e.g., ISPM 15 for wooden packaging). Quality standards conform to ISO 9001 manufacturing protocols, EN 1154 performance testing for controlled door closing, and compliance with WTO agreements on technical barriers to trade (TBT). Accurate classification and adherence to these specifications facilitate smooth customs clearance and international trade compliance.

Door closer 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.
