4418.29.40.00 - French doors

This HTS category, 4418.29.40.00, specifically classifies "French doors." French doors, as understood in this context, are typically characterized by their dual-panel construction, where each door panel incorporates one or more glass panes within its frame. These doors are commonly used as interior or exterior passage doors, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal, often allowing for increased natural light and a sense of openness. The classification hinges on the presence of glass panes integrated into the wooden door structure.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 4418.29.80, which covers "Other" doors. While French doors are a specific type of wooden door, the "Other" category would encompass wooden doors that do not fit the specific criteria of French doors, such as solid wood panel doors without any glass, or doors with different configurations of glazing. The defining characteristic for this 4418.29.40.00 code is the inherent design incorporating multiple glass panes within the wooden framework of the door.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of French doors is considered specific enough at this level. Therefore, the focus for classification at this node relies on accurately identifying products that meet the definition of French doors, primarily by their multi-pane glazed construction within a wooden frame, and ensuring they are not misclassified under broader or other specific door categories within HTS Chapter 44.
