4416.00.60.50 - Other

This HTS category, 4416.00.60.50, encompasses "Other" coopers' products and parts thereof, of wood, falling within the broader classification of casks, barrels, vats, tubs, and similar items, as well as their constituent parts. The scope of this particular subheading is defined by its residual nature, meaning it captures those items that do not fit into more specific classifications within heading 4416. This generally includes wooden articles intended for the containment, storage, or transport of liquids or solids, but which are not specifically classified as staves or hoops.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 4416.00.60.40, which specifically covers "Staves." Staves are the individual, shaped wooden planks used to form the sides of barrels, casks, and other coopered containers. This "Other" category, therefore, covers finished or semi-finished wooden coopered articles and components other than the primary building elements of staves. For example, this subheading would likely apply to complete, ready-to-assemble barrel kits, or wooden hoops themselves, if not specifically classified elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification decision for goods falling under 4416.00.60.50 relies on a thorough examination of the product's physical characteristics and intended use. If an article is a wooden coopered product or a part thereof, and it is not specifically classifiable as staves or hoops under 4416.00.60.40, then it will be classified under this "Other" residual category.
