U.S. imports of base metal mountings, fittings & similar articles — not elsewhere specified (HS 830249) totaled $65.9M in June 2026, traded with 76 countries.
Importers of Base Metal Mountings, Fittings & Similar Articles — Not Elsewhere Specified paid $12.4M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 32% on $39.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: June 2026 dataHarness and saddlery hardware (8302492000, 8302494000), non-motor-vehicle transport fittings covering railway and aircraft applications (8302496045, 8302496055), and a broad residual category of base metal mountings not covered by more specific subheadings make this a catch-all heading requiring careful classification analysis. China leads supply, with Mexico and Canada also significant. Because this heading serves as the residual for the entire 8302 group, CBP binding rulings are particularly valuable when an article's design does not clearly align with the building, furniture, or motor-vehicle subheadings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification follows GRI 6: the importer must first determine whether the article is specifically described by a more specific subheading — motor vehicles (8302.30), buildings (8302.41), or furniture (8302.42). Only if the article does not meet those specific descriptions does 8302.49 apply as the residual. Dual-use articles should be classified based on their principal designed application, and a CBP binding ruling is advisable when that determination is genuinely uncertain.
The key distinction is material: base metal buckles, rings, snaps, and fittings used in harness and saddlery are classified under 8302492000 (precious-metal plated) or 8302494000 (not precious-metal plated). If the same hardware is made primarily of leather or textile, or if it is a complete leather article, it would fall under Chapters 42 or 43. The base metal composition of the fitting itself is the controlling factor.
