Parts for Metal Sign Frames from Mexico
Base metal clips and brackets designed exclusively for assembling sign plates, name-plates, or similar plates. These parts are classified under tariff item 8310.00.00 because Chapter 83 Note 1 directs that parts of base metal are classified with their parent articles, and these clips/brackets are not excluded as 'parts of general use' under Section Note 2.

Import Tips
• Ensure the clips and brackets are not classifiable as 'parts of general use' (e.g
• screws, springs) under Section Note 2, as those fall under other headings
• Declare the base metal composition (e.g
• steel, aluminum) accurately for duty calculation
• Keep documentation showing the parts are specifically designed for sign plates to support classification
