HS Code for Enamelled cast iron pot

Enamelled cast iron pots are classified under HS code 7323.92. This classification falls within Chapter 73, which covers articles of iron or steel, and heading 7323, which is dedicated to table, kitchen, or other household articles. The classification logic follows a two-step process: first, identifying the material as cast iron, and second, identifying the surface treatment as enamelled. Enamelling involves the fusion of a vitreous coating to the metal surface at high temperatures, providing a durable, non-reactive finish. This specific subheading (7323.92) is distinct from other kitchenware because cast iron has unique metallurgical properties compared to stainless steel or pressed iron. Customs authorities require the identification of the base metal (cast vs. non-cast) to ensure correct duty application, as cast iron products are often subject to different trade regulations and anti-dumping duties in various jurisdictions.

Common Misclassification

These items are often confused with HS code 7323.91, which is for cast iron articles that are NOT enamelled (such as seasoned raw cast iron). They are also frequently misclassified under 7323.94, which covers enamelled kitchenware made of iron or steel other than cast iron. Distinguishing between a heavy cast pot and a lighter pressed steel enamelled pot is critical for using the correct code.
