4417.00.20.00 - Broom and mop handles, 1.9 cm or more in diameter and 97 cm or more in length

This HTS category, 4417.00.20.00, specifically classifies wooden handles designed for brooms and mops that meet defined dimensional criteria. To fall under this classification, the wooden handle must measure 1.9 centimeters or more in diameter and extend to a length of 97 centimeters or more. These are robust, substantial handles intended for heavy-duty sweeping or mopping tasks.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4417.00.40.00 covers wooden handles specifically for paint brushes and paint rollers, which are typically smaller and designed for different applications. Similarly, 4417.00.60.00 pertains to wooden brush backs, which form the head or base of a brush rather than the handle itself. The residual category, 4417.00.80, is for any other wooden handles or tool bodies not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 4417.00.20.00 is determined solely by the material (wood) and the specific dimensions of the broom or mop handle. Therefore, careful measurement is crucial to ensure correct classification and avoid misdeclaration.
