Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond crown corks, the packaging closure universe for base metals includes screw caps, roll-on aluminum closures, bottle capsules, bungs, and seals — all captured under heading 8309.90 and subdivided at the 10-digit level primarily by material: aluminum closures for beverages (8309900020), other aluminum closures (8309900010 and 8309900025), steel closures (8309900080), and residual base metal types (8309900085 and 8309900090). Aluminum closures dominate the wine, spirits, and pharmaceutical packaging sectors, while steel variants serve food canning and industrial drum applications. Aluminum articles may be subject to Section 232 tariffs, and steel articles face their own Section 232 exposure, making material identification a critical first step in duty calculation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule under 8309.90 separates aluminum closures by end-use application — beverage closures have a dedicated line (8309900020), while other aluminum closures fall under 8309900010 or 8309900025. An aluminum capsule used to seal a wine bottle would typically be classified as a beverage closure. Confirming the intended end-use with the manufacturer's documentation supports the correct line selection.
Potentially yes. Both aluminum articles and steel articles can fall within the scope of Section 232 measures, and closures of those materials are not categorically excluded. The applicable rate and any product-specific exclusions depend on origin and product form. Importers should verify current Section 232 status with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
