Customs Guide: Base Metal Mountings and Fittings


U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, Customs) publishes a series of free on-line Informed Compliance Publications (ICP). The ICPs are intended to provide guidance and information to importers and other interested members of the trade community.

An ICP titled Base Metal Mountings and Fittings has recently been posted on the CBP website. The guide is part of a series of ICPs dedicated to Customs classification and valuation. The ICP provides information on the following subjects (partial list):
- Classification of mountings and fittings
- Classification of alloys
- Definition of base metal
- Definition of mountings and fittings
- Types of mountings and fittings
- Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheadings pertaining to mountings and fittings


The ICP was posted on February 23, 2010.

The information in the ICPs is provided for general information purposes only, and is provided with the "hope that this material, together with seminars and increased access to rulings of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, will help the trade community improve voluntary compliance with customs laws and to understand the relevant administrative process."
