Use HS-6 732393 when importing or exporting stainless steel kitchen and household articles, such as a stainless steel colander or mixing bowl. This code specifically covers items made from stainless steel, which are popular for their durability and resistance to corrosion.

This code distinguishes itself from HS-6 732394, which covers similar household articles made from other types of steel. If your products are not specifically stainless steel, you may need to consider that code instead.

The classification under HS-4 7323 narrows the focus to household articles, including kitchenware. This means items like stainless steel pots, pans, and utensils are included, but not industrial or non-household items.

When dealing with household articles, ensure your products are primarily made of stainless steel. Items like stainless steel serving trays or cutlery fall under this classification, while those made from aluminum or plastic do not.
