Classification of door hinges under HS 8302.10
Door hinges are classified under HS code 8302.10. While hinges are technically a type of door fitting, the Harmonized System provides a specific subheading for them that takes precedence over more general categories. Heading 8302 covers mountings and fittings of base metal. The very first subheading, 8302.10, is dedicated to \"Hinges\" of all types. This includes not only hinges for doors but also those for furniture, windows, and vehicle coachwork. According to the rules of specificity in the Harmonized System (GRI 3a), a product must be classified under the heading or subheading that provides the most specific description. Since \"Hinges\" is a more specific description than \"Other mountings and fittings suitable for buildings,\" 8302.10 is the correct code for any hinge made of base metal. This applies to various mechanical designs, including butt hinges, spring hinges, and continuous hinges, provided the primary material is a base metal like steel, brass, or zinc.

Codes often confused with 8302.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is placing door hinges under 8302.41 (other fittings for buildings). However, because 8302.10 specifically names \"Hinges,\" it must be used first. Another error is classifying plastic hinges under this code; plastic hinges belong in 3926.90. Furthermore, hinges made of precious metals or plated with precious metals would fall under Chapter 71 if they meet the weight thresholds defined in the chapter notes.

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).
