RE: The tariff classification of wall mounted iron hanging sign brackets from Argentina
Dear Mr. Rodriguez:
In your letter dated June 27, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Photographs and product descriptions of two different sizes of Iron Sign Brackets were submitted with your
inquiry. Each L-shaped bracket consists of 1/8” cut steel sheet with two predrilled holes to form the wall
mounting side, a ½” square iron bar with a cast iron ornamental tip projecting lengthwise, and a steel flat bar
with decorative steel curls positioned diagonally within the L shape. Two small steel flat bar hangers each
with a predrilled hole hang from the projecting square bar for attaching a hanging sign. The brackets measure
10” x 24” or 8” x 14”. These iron hanging sign brackets are designed to be permanently affixed vertically to a
wall or flat surface and to project from that surface to support the weight of hanging sign.
The applicable subheading for the two different sizes of Iron Sign Brackets will be 8302.50.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Base metal mountings,
fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery,
trunks, chests, caskets or the like; base metal hat racks, hat-pegs, brackets and similar fixtures; …: Hat-racks,
hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures, and parts thereof. The general rate of duty will be free.
The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience
and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided
at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other
charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other
duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the
classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either
the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions
covering exceptions to such tariffs.
