4418.73.30.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4418.73.30.00, specifically classifies assembled flooring panels made of bamboo or with a top layer (wear layer) of bamboo, intended for mosaic flooring, which do not fall under the preceding sibling category. These panels are characterized by their construction, designed to be assembled into patterned flooring arrangements, such as parquet or herringbone styles, where individual pieces are typically small and arranged in a decorative manner. The key defining feature for classification here is the absence of a face ply exceeding 6 mm in thickness, distinguishing them from other assembled bamboo flooring panels.

Unlike the sibling category 4418.73.20.00, which pertains to assembled bamboo flooring panels where the face ply is more than 6 mm thick, this category applies to those with a face ply of 6 mm or less. This distinction is crucial for customs valuation and statistical tracking, as it reflects differences in material usage and potentially in the structural characteristics and intended applications of the flooring. Both categories fall under the broader scope of assembled bamboo flooring panels for mosaic floors, but the thickness of the wear layer serves as the primary differentiating factor.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 4418.73.30.00. The classification is final at this level, meaning that any assembled flooring panels meeting the criteria of being bamboo-based, intended for mosaic patterns, and not having a face ply thicker than 6 mm, will be classified here. This ensures that all such specific types of bamboo flooring are accounted for under a single, definitive HTS code.
