Find HS Code and trade information for 4 black handles

Handles

Handles are appendages used for gripping and manipulating an object. They facilitate control, leverage, and often improve safety when interacting with tools, doors, containers, or other items.

Material

Handles are manufactured from a diverse range of materials, selected based on the intended application, cost, and aesthetic requirements. Common materials include:

• Metals: Steel (stainless, carbon), aluminum, brass, zinc alloys. Offer high strength and durability, often used in tools and heavy-duty applications.
• Plastics: Polypropylene, PVC, nylon, ABS. Provide good insulation, corrosion resistance, and can be molded into complex shapes.
• Wood: Traditional material, offering a comfortable grip and aesthetic appeal. Requires protective coatings for durability.
• Rubber/Elastomers: Provide a non-slip grip and vibration dampening. Often used as overmolds on other handle materials.
• Composites: Carbon fiber, fiberglass. Offer high strength-to-weight ratios, used in specialized applications.

Purpose & Function

The primary function of a handle is to provide a secure and comfortable interface between the user and the object being manipulated. Specific functions include:

• Leverage: Increasing the force applied to an object (e.g., wrench handles).
• Control: Precise manipulation of tools or mechanisms.
• Isolation: Providing thermal or electrical insulation (e.g., insulated tool handles).
• Safety: Reducing the risk of injury or fatigue.
• Rotation: Enabling rotational movement (e.g., door handles, faucet handles).

Usage Scenarios

Handles are ubiquitous across numerous applications:

• Tools: Wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, saws.
• Doors & Windows: Lever handles, knob handles, pull handles.
• Containers: Pots, pans, buckets, luggage.
• Furniture: Drawers, cabinets, chairs.
• Appliances: Knives, cooking utensils, power tools.
• Vehicles: Steering wheels, gear shifts, parking brakes.

Common Types

Given the variety of applications, handles come in numerous designs:

• Knob Handles: Rotational, often used on doors and cabinets.
• Lever Handles: Pivoting, providing ease of use, common on doors and faucets.
• Loop Handles: Circular or semi-circular, providing a secure grip for carrying.
• D-Handles: Shaped like the letter "D", providing a comfortable and ergonomic grip.
• T-Handles: Shaped like the letter "T", offering good leverage.
• Ball Handles: Spherical, providing all-around grip.
• Ergonomic Handles: Designed to fit the shape of the hand, reducing fatigue.
• Soft-Grip Handles: Covered in rubber or elastomer for increased comfort and grip.
