Overview
This HTS classification, 4415.10.60.00, specifically covers wooden containers designed and intended for the harvesting of fruits and vegetables. These are typically robust, often slatted or ventilated, containers that facilitate the collection, transport, and storage of agricultural produce directly from the fields. Their construction and design are optimized for agricultural use, differentiating them from general-purpose packaging.
Distinguished from its sibling category 4415.10.30.00, which covers packing boxes and cases with solid sides, lids, and bottoms, this category focuses on specialized containers whose primary function is agricultural harvesting. While both fall under the broader heading of wooden packing cases and similar articles, the key differentiator here is the intended use in fruit and vegetable harvesting. The other sibling, 4415.10.90.00, encompasses any other wooden packing items not specifically classified elsewhere within the 4415.10 subheadings.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within 4415.10.60.00 rests on confirming the wooden construction of the container and its principal intended application for harvesting agricultural produce. Examples might include wooden crates with open sides for ventilation, field bins, or harvest lugs, provided they are demonstrably designed for this specific agricultural purpose.
