HS Code 8302.60 – Automatic door closures; of base metal
HS code 8302.60 is the 6-digit subheading for automatic door closures, of base metal. It is used for overhead door closers, floor spring door closers, concealed door closers, surface-mounted door closers and hydraulic door closers.
What HS 8302.60 covers
This category specifically covers automatic door closures made of base metal, which are essential safety and convenience devices for controlling door movement. These mechanisms ensure doors close automatically and often at a controlled speed, preventing slamming and improving energy efficiency. They are widely used in commercial buildings, public institutions, residential complexes, and industrial facilities. Major importers include countries with significant commercial construction and infrastructure development, such as the United States, Germany, China, and the UK. Exporters are typically nations with advanced engineering and precision manufacturing capabilities in metalworking, including Germany, Japan, China, and the USA. Key trade considerations involve compliance with fire safety regulations, accessibility standards (e.g., ADA), durability, closing force, adjustability, and resistance to environmental factors. The market is driven by building codes, security requirements, and the continuous demand for accessible and energy-efficient building solutions.

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).
