Classification of door closers under HS 8302.60
Door closers are classified under HS code 8302.60. This code is found in Chapter 83, which covers miscellaneous articles of base metal. Heading 83.02 includes base metal mountings, fittings, and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets, or the like. Subheading 8302.60 specifically identifies "automatic door closures." These devices are mechanical or hydraulic mechanisms designed to close a door automatically after it has been opened. To fall under this code, the closer must be primarily made of base metal (such as steel, aluminum, or brass). The classification remains the same regardless of the mounting style, whether it is surface-mounted, concealed in the door, or a floor-spring variety.

Codes often confused with 8302.60
Common mistake. Door closers are sometimes misclassified under HS code 8412.21 (hydraulic cylinders) or 8412.31 (pneumatic cylinders) because they contain internal pistons and fluid. However, because they are specifically designed as door fittings, heading 83.02 is more specific. Another common error is using 8302.41, which is the general category for mountings and fittings for buildings. Since 8302.60 is a specific subheading for automatic door closures, it must be used instead of the general "other" category for building hardware.

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).
