What HS code 8306 covers
This heading is a catch-all for non-electric bells and gongs, ornaments and statuettes, and frames for photographs, pictures and mirrors. The goods must be of base metal. Base metals include iron, steel, copper, aluminium and zinc.
It sits among the miscellaneous articles of base metal. Many people search for it as HSN code 8306. The number and the meaning are the same.
A hand bell or a spring bell fits here. A bell that runs on electricity does not, because the heading says non-electric.
Six-digit codes: bells, ornaments and frames
The six-digit codes split the heading by product type. First decide what the item is. Then check its finish.
Think of hand bells, temple bells, table bells and gongs.
A small metal figure, a desk piece or a wall decoration belongs in one of these two.
A metal photo frame and a metal-framed mirror both go here.
How to choose between 830621 and 830629
Both codes cover statuettes and other ornaments. The only difference is the surface. Look at the coating on the item.
A brass figure with a silver or gold finish goes under 830621. A plain brass, iron or aluminium figure goes under 830629, and so does one with a painted or lacquered finish.
Frames and mirrors have no such split. They stay in 830630 whatever the finish. If you are unsure about a product, the HS code classifier can help you check the wording before you file.
What is classified elsewhere in Chapter 83
Several nearby headings look close to this one but cover different goods.
Fittings for furniture, doors and windows belong to heading 8302. Clasps, buckles, beads and spangles belong to heading 8308.
Here is a simple test. If the item is made to be rung, looked at or shown as an ornament or frame, check 8306. If it holds, fastens, locks or labels something, check the other headings first.
