## Common ground
All options are mounting, fitting, or similar hardware used to assemble or secure furniture components.
## Options at a glance
**3926.30 – Made of plastic material**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed primarily from plastic (e.g., polypropylene, ABS).
- **Typical examples:** Plastic shelf brackets, drawer sliders, corner braces.
- **Best fit when:** The product is lightweight, non-metallic, and used in low-load or indoor furniture.
**8302.42 – Made of base metal**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from ferrous or non-ferrous base metals (e.g., steel, iron, brass).
- **Typical examples:** Metal screws, hinges, adjustable bed frames, heavy-duty brackets.
- **Best fit when:** The product requires high strength, durability, or load-bearing capacity.
## Key differences
| Feature | 3926.30 (Plastic) | 8302.42 (Base Metal) |
|---------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------|

## How to choose
- Is the product made of plastic? → 3926.30
- Is it made of steel, iron, or other base metal? → 8302.42
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product could be both plastic and metal if it combines materials (e.g., a plastic housing with metal screws). In such cases, classify by the **main structural material** or **primary function**. If unclear, prioritize based on the dominant component. No option is inherently more correct—choose based on the product’s core material
