The steel tubes give it the strength that secures the door and they are adjustable, allowing its use on virtually any door and giving it its broad functionality. The steel tube component gives this item its essential character and makes it an article of base metal of heading 83.02.&&&&The Explanatory Notes to heading 83.02 specifically name door stops under that heading.

Tariff item 8302.41.10 only covers bar or rod type door exit devices for commercial, institutional or industrial applications. The descriptions for this product direct its use towards the household products market. Also, it is not considered an “exit device” as it is used to stop a forced entry, not an exit. Therefore, it does not meet the terms of tariff item 8302.41.10. As such, it must be classified under the residual tariff item 8203.41.90.&&
