Product description
The merchandise is described in your letter as a “fireplace screen component.” It is a scrollwork plaque made of steel that mounts to the front side of a fireplace screen with a nut and bolt. Your letter indicates that a horizontal ring protruding from its center is designed to hold a glass candle votive (which is not included). You inquire whether the fireplace screen component is classified in subheading 9403.20.00, HTSUS, as other metal furniture. This item is not an essential part of the fireplace screen. It enhances the screen and, therefore, fits the definition of an accessory. Heading 9403 includes parts of furniture, but does not include accessories, therefore, the fireplace screen component is precluded from classification within this heading. Additionally, from the information provided, there are no specific features to support the use of this item as a non-electrical lighting fitting under heading 9405, HTSUS.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the fireplace screen component will be 8302.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles…hat-racks, hat pegs, brackets and similar fixtures, and parts thereof.
