Classification of hat racks under HS 8302.50
Hat racks made of base metal are classified under HS code 8302.50. This classification is part of Chapter 83, which covers miscellaneous articles of base metal. Heading 8302 is dedicated to 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. The primary criteria for this classification are the material (base metal such as steel, brass, or aluminum) and the fact that these items are typically designed to be fixed to a wall, a door, or a piece of furniture. They are considered hardware fittings rather than independent pieces of furniture, which is a vital distinction in the Harmonized System.

Codes often confused with 8302.50
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 9403.20, which covers other metal furniture. The distinction lies in whether the rack is a free-standing unit (furniture) or a fixture to be mounted (fitting). A floor-standing coat and hat rack is 9403, while a wall-mounted peg is 8302.50. Another error involves plastic hat racks, which should be classified under 3924.90. Additionally, if the rack is made of wood, it would fall under 4420 or 9403 depending on its design and whether it is free-standing or wall-mounted.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
