Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "83" represent metal products.

Specifically, Chapter 83 covers the following main contents:

• Various metal products, including tools, hand tools, cutlery, kitchen or sanitary articles, etc.
• Locks, hinges, chains, fasteners, screws, nuts, etc.
• Various metal structural components, such as window and door frames, building structural components, etc.
• Metal protective sheaths for wires and cables, wire and cable clamps, etc.
• Other metal products, such as ashtrays, lamp brackets, furniture hardware, etc.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of Chapter 83 is to classify all products made of metal that do not belong to other more specific chapters (such as machines, electrical equipment, vehicles, etc.). It covers a wide range of metal products, mainly classified based on the material (metal) and usage (various tools, hardware, structural components, etc.).

In short, if your product is mainly made of metal and is a tool, hardware, structural component, etc., it is likely to be classified under Chapter 83.

To more accurately determine the HS code of your product, you need to further understand the specific material, use, structure, etc., of the product.
