HS Code Classification for STAIRCASE TOWEL RACK
Based on the provided reference data and the description "STAIRCASE TOWEL RACK", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications. It's crucial to determine the material composition for accurate classification.
1. 9403.89.60.15 – Furniture of other materials (including cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials): Other: Other household furniture

- 03: Furniture of wood.

- 60: Furniture of other materials.
- 15: Other household furniture.
- Applicability: If the towel rack is constructed primarily from materials other than wood (e.g., metal, plastic, cane, bamboo), this is a strong possibility. However, the 25% additional tariff and potential 30% post-April 2, 2025, increase should be considered.
