HS Code for Enamelled kitchenware

Enamelled kitchenware made from steel or non-cast iron is classified under HS code 7323.94. This code is situated under heading 7323, which encompasses household articles of iron or steel. The classification specifically targets items that have undergone an enamelling process—where a glass-like coating is fused to the metal—but excludes those made from cast iron. Most modern enamelware, such as lightweight camping mugs, roasting pans, and stockpots, is manufactured from sheet steel or carbon steel and then coated. The distinction between 7323.94 and other subheadings is based entirely on the combination of the base metal (iron or steel, excluding cast) and the surface finish (enamelled). This classification is essential for international trade statistics and the application of specific tariffs that may apply to steel-based household goods versus those made of aluminum or plastic.

Common Misclassification

The most common error is confusing this with HS code 7323.92, which is strictly for enamelled cast iron. While both are enamelled, the weight and manufacturing process of the base metal differ. Another misclassification is 7323.93, which is for stainless steel kitchenware; stainless steel is rarely enamelled, but if it is, the material type (stainless) usually takes precedence in specific customs rulings, though 7323.94 is the general enamelled steel code.
