HS code 8302.10 is the 6-digit subheading for hinges, suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like, of base metal. It is used for butt hinges, piano hinges, concealed cabinet hinges, strap hinges and gate hinges.
What HS 8302.10 covers
This code covers a vast array of base metal hinges essential for countless applications, from residential and commercial construction to furniture manufacturing and specialized industrial uses. In international trade, these components are fundamental, facilitating movement and access in everything from a simple cabinet door to complex industrial machinery. Major importers include countries with robust construction sectors, furniture production hubs, and significant manufacturing capabilities, such as the United States, Germany, China, and Mexico. Exporters often come from nations with strong metalworking industries, like China, Germany, Italy, and Taiwan, which benefit from economies of scale and specialized production. Key considerations for trade include material composition (steel, brass, zinc alloy), finish (polished, brushed, powder-coated), load-bearing capacity, and specific application requirements (e.g., concealed hinges for furniture, heavy-duty hinges for industrial doors). Compliance with quality standards and certifications is crucial, especially for architectural and automotive applications. The market is driven by both new construction and renovation projects, as well as the continuous demand from furniture and vehicle manufacturers.

Codes often confused with 8302.10
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 830241 (mountings for buildings) or 830242 (mountings for furniture) if the hinge is considered a general fitting rather than a specific hinge. It's distinct because it specifically covers the "hinge" function, whereas the others are broader "mountings."

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
