4418.91.91.95 - Other

HTS code 4418.91.91.95, "Other," under "Of bamboo" within the broader category of "Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels and assembled flooring panels; shingles and shakes," encompasses bamboo articles that do not fit into the more specifically defined subcategories. This classification is reserved for finished or partly finished bamboo components used in building construction that are not laminated arches, roof trusses, other fabricated structural wood members, or prefabricated partitions and panels for buildings. The key defining characteristic is the material – bamboo – and its intended use in construction, serving a structural or functional purpose within a building's design.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the specific forms and functions. For instance, 4418.91.91.10 is for laminated arches, clearly defined structural curved elements. Roof trusses (4418.91.91.20) are specifically designed frameworks for supporting roofs. Other fabricated structural wood members (4418.91.91.40) include a broader range of load-bearing or connecting elements. Prefabricated partitions and panels (4418.91.91.50) are typically flat, modular components for creating walls or divisions within a building. When bamboo articles used in construction do not align with these specific descriptions, they fall under this residual "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4418.91.91.95 relies heavily on a thorough review of the specific physical characteristics, intended application in building construction, and the exclusion of items classified under the more specific sibling categories. Importers and customs brokers must carefully examine the nature of the bamboo article to ensure it meets the criteria for builders' joinery and carpentry while not being specifically enumerated elsewhere.
