What decides the code
Cookware sets are classified by the metal of the article, with stainless steel in heading 7323 and nonstick aluminum in heading 7615.
- The metal decides the heading. Stainless steel cookware falls in heading 7323, and aluminum cookware falls in heading 7615.
- A nonstick interior finish on aluminum cookware leads to 7615.10.30.25, the subheading for cooking ware with nonstick interior finishes.
- Stainless steel cooking ware of heading 7323 is classified under 7323.93.00.45, the line for cooking ware of stainless steel.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a stainless steel cookware set in heading 7615 is wrong because that heading covers aluminum articles, not steel.
- Classifying a nonstick aluminum cookware set in heading 7323 is wrong because that heading covers iron and steel articles, not aluminum.
- Putting nonstick aluminum cookware in a plain aluminum cooking ware line under 7615 is wrong because the nonstick interior finish has its own subheading.
