Importers of Household Articles & Parts (NES) of Iron or Steel paid $41.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 28% on $149.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIron and steel household articles not elsewhere specified — a residual category that captures a wide range of domestic-use metal goods, from storage racks and ironing boards to decorative hardware and utility containers — are classified here when no more specific heading applies. The 'NES' designation means importers must first confirm that the article does not fit a more specific SITC or HTS subheading before using this code. Many articles in this category have faced Section 301 tariff exposure, and the broad scope makes classification disputes relatively common.

Importers should work through the SITC and HTS schedules systematically: if the article is described by name or function in a more specific heading (e.g., cookware, cutlery, locks, or tools), it belongs there. Only after exhausting more specific options does the NES residual heading apply. CBP binding rulings are the most reliable way to resolve ambiguous cases.
Many iron and steel household articles imported from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, though the specific applicability depends on the precise HTS classification of the article. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list coverage for their specific 10-digit HTS subheading, as coverage and rates have been modified through exclusion and review processes.
