4416.00.90.20 - New

This HTS category, 4416.00.90.20, specifically covers new wooden coopers' products and their parts. This includes items such as casks, barrels, vats, and tubs that are manufactured from wood. The term "new" signifies that these products are not used or previously utilized for containing goods. These items are typically designed for the storage, aging, or transportation of various liquids, such as wine, spirits, or other beverages, as well as certain dry goods.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its "new" condition, differentiating it from the sibling category 4416.00.90.40, which pertains to used wooden coopers' products. This means that any wooden barrel or vat that has not been previously put into service would be classified here. The material of construction being wood is a crucial defining factor, aligning with Chapter 44's focus on wood and articles of wood.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 4416.00.90.20. Classification at this level is determined by the product being a wooden coopers' product that is new. Practical considerations for classification would include the physical form of the item (e.g., a complete barrel vs. a stave), its intended use as a container of this type, and confirmation of its new, unused state.
