Here's a classification of "wooden step stool" based on available data, presented in a structured format:
-
9403.60.80.89: Other furniture and parts thereof; furniture not covered by the preceding headings. Other wooden furniture. Other. Of teak (Tectona spp.). This HS code covers wooden furniture, specifically those made of teak wood. 94 indicates furniture, 03 specifies parts and furniture not elsewhere specified, 60 denotes wooden furniture, and 80 further categorizes it as 'other'. If the step stool is made of teak, this is a potential match.
-
9403.60.80.93: Other furniture and parts thereof; furniture not covered by the preceding headings. Other wooden furniture. Other. Other. This HS code is for other wooden furniture not specifically defined elsewhere. 94 indicates furniture, 03 specifies parts and furniture not elsewhere specified, 60 denotes wooden furniture, and 80 further categorizes it as 'other'. This is a broad category suitable if the wood type isn't teak.
-
4418.91.10.00: Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels and assembled flooring panels; shingles and shakes. Other. Of bamboo. Drilled or notched lumber studs. If the step stool is constructed from bamboo, this HS code may apply. 44 denotes wood, 18 specifies joinery and carpentry, and 91 further categorizes it as 'other'.
-
4418.99.91.05: Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels and assembled flooring panels; shingles and shakes. Other. Other. Other Wood flooring. While this code is for wood flooring, it could be considered if the step stool is constructed as a flooring panel. 44 denotes wood, 18 specifies joinery and carpentry, and 99 further categorizes it as 'other'.
Important Considerations:
- Wood Type: The primary factor in determining the correct HS code is the type of wood used. Teak wood falls under a specific code (9403.60.80.89), while other woods are classified differently.
- Construction: Is the step stool considered a piece of furniture (9403) or a carpentry item (4418)? This will affect the classification.
- Material Composition: If the step stool contains materials other than wood (e.g., metal, plastic), additional HS codes may be necessary.
Tax Rates:
- Codes starting with 94 generally have a base tariff of 0.0% with additional tariffs of 25.0% or 30% depending on the date.
- Codes starting with 44 have varying base tariffs and additional tariffs depending on the specific subcategory.
Recommendation:
Carefully review the material composition and construction of the step stool. If the step stool is made of teak wood, 9403.60.80.89 is the most appropriate HS code. Otherwise, 9403.60.80.93 is a likely match.
