Last updated: July 2026 dataSteel wool and pot-scouring pads — workhorse abrasive products for both consumer and industrial cleaning — consolidate into a single 10-digit line, 7323100000, making material confirmation (iron or steel fiber or mesh construction) the primary classification task. China is the leading supplier by a wide margin, with India and Mexico as secondary sources; Cambodia and Vietnam have also emerged as notable origins. Goods from China in this category are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has driven some sourcing diversification toward Southeast Asian producers.

Scouring pads and pot scourers of iron or steel — including stainless steel — are specifically provided for under 732310 (HTS 7323100000) as a dedicated product category. The household articles heading 732393 covers table, kitchen, and household articles more broadly; the specific provision for scourers in 732310 takes precedence for these abrasive cleaning products.
A valid certificate of origin, manufacturer's affidavit, and production records demonstrating that the steel wool was manufactured (drawn, cut, and formed) in the claimed country — not merely transshipped from China — are essential. CBP scrutinizes origin claims for this product category given active enforcement of Section 301 evasion cases in the housewares sector.
