4402.10.00.00 - Of bamboo

This HTS category, 4402.10.00.00, specifically classifies wood charcoal derived from bamboo. It encompasses all forms of charcoal produced by the carbonization of bamboo, whether in its raw state or processed into agglomerated forms. This includes lump charcoal, briquettes, or powders made exclusively from bamboo.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its exclusive reliance on bamboo as the raw material. Category 4402.20.00.00 covers charcoal made from shell or nut sources, such as coconut shells or walnut shells. The residual category, 4402.90.01.00, is reserved for all other types of wood charcoal not specifically covered by the bamboo or shell/nut classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 4402.10.00.00. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, focusing on the material origin of the charcoal itself. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product is indeed derived from bamboo to correctly apply this tariff code.
