Overview
This HTS classification, 4415.10.30.00, specifically designates packing boxes and cases constructed entirely of wood, featuring solid sides, lids, and bottoms. These are generally rigid containers intended for the protection and transportation of goods. The emphasis is on the complete enclosure of the contents through the use of solid wood panels for all six sides of the packaging. Examples include wooden crates with solid wood walls, bottom, and a solid wooden lid, as well as wooden boxes where all panels are solid wood.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 4415.10.60.00 covers containers specifically designed for the harvesting of fruits and vegetables, and 4415.10.90.00 encompasses all other types of wooden packing containers not otherwise specified, 4415.10.30.00 is strictly for general-purpose packing boxes and cases with solid wood construction for all enclosing surfaces. The defining characteristic here is the solid composition of all structural elements of the box or case.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on accurately identifying wooden packing boxes and cases that meet the criteria of having solid sides, lids, and bottoms, differentiating them from specialized harvest containers or other miscellaneous wooden packing solutions.
