Classification of household ironware under HS 7323.99
Household ironware is classified under HS code 7323.99. This code is situated within Chapter 73, which encompasses articles of iron or steel. Heading 7323 specifically covers table, kitchen, or other household articles and their parts. Sub-heading 7323.99 serves as a residual category for items that are not made of cast iron (7323.91/92), stainless steel (7323.93), or enameled iron (7323.94). Classification is governed by General Interpretative Rule 1, which dictates that the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes determine the legal classification. For an article to fall under this code, it must be primarily composed of iron or steel and intended for domestic use. This includes a wide variety of non-electric utensils and containers used in a home setting. The classification also extends to parts of these articles, provided they are identifiable as such and are made of the same base metals.

Codes often confused with 7323.99
Common mistake. Household ironware is frequently misclassified under HS code 7323.93, which is reserved exclusively for stainless steel articles. To qualify for 7323.93, the item must have a chromium content of at least 10.5%. Another common error involves HS code 8215, which covers spoons, forks, and similar kitchenware; these are considered cutlery rather than general household articles. Furthermore, electric household appliances, such as electric kettles or toasters, are excluded from Chapter 73 and must be classified under Chapter 85, specifically heading 8516.

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).
