HS Code for Coat hooks

Coat hooks made of base metal are classified under HS code 8302.50. This heading covers a variety of base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets, or the like. Subheading 8302.50 specifically identifies hat-racks, hat-pegs, brackets, and similar fixtures. Coat hooks fall under \"similar fixtures\" or \"hat-pegs\" depending on their design. To be classified here, the item must be made of base metal (such as iron, steel, copper, or aluminum). If the hook is integrated into a larger piece of furniture, such as a wooden wardrobe, it may be classified as part of the furniture under Chapter 94. However, individual hooks intended for wall mounting or attachment to other surfaces remain in 8302.50. This classification is based on the material composition and the specific utility of the item as a mounting fixture.

Common Misclassification

Coat hooks are frequently misclassified under 7326, which is a residual category for other articles of iron or steel. However, because 8302.50 specifically describes hat-pegs and similar fixtures, it takes precedence according to GRI 3(a). Another common misclassification occurs with plastic hooks, which must be classified under 3926.90. If the hook is part of a coat stand (furniture), it should be classified under 9403.
