Base Metal Automatic Door Closers and Parts

The US schedule explicitly separates complete automatic door closers (8302603000) from their parts (8302609000). Importers shipping replacement components — such as hydraulic cylinders, arms, or mounting brackets sold separately — should classify them under the parts line. Components imported as part of a complete closer assembly are classified with the complete unit.

Automatic door closers use a hydraulic or pneumatic mechanism to control closing speed and ensure the door returns to a closed position without user action. Non-automatic closers rely on simple spring tension or gravity and are classified under 8302413000. Product specifications and engineering documentation confirming the presence of a hydraulic or pneumatic control mechanism support the 8302.60 classification.
