4415.20.80.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4415.20.80.00, encompasses "Other" wood pallets, box-pallets, other load boards, and pallet collars. It serves as a residual category for wooden load-bearing devices that do not fit the more specific classifications within heading 4415.20. These items are primarily designed for the transportation, storage, or handling of goods, facilitating efficient movement through supply chains.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4415.20.40.00, is crucial. While 4415.20.40.00 is specifically for containers designed for the harvesting of fruits and vegetables, this "Other" category captures all other types of wooden pallets, box-pallets, load boards, and pallet collars not intended for that particular agricultural purpose. This includes standard industrial pallets, specialized heavy-duty load boards, and protective pallet collars used for securing stacked goods, regardless of the industry.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 4415.20.80.00 relies on a comprehensive understanding of the preceding descriptions within heading 4415.20 and the exclusion of items classified under more specific subheadings. The key determining factor is whether the wooden article functions as a load board, pallet, or pallet collar and does not meet the specific criteria for other HTS classifications.
