4419.90.11.00 - Forks and spoons

This HTS category, 4419.90.11.00, specifically classifies wooden forks and spoons. These are items primarily intended for eating or serving food, crafted entirely or substantially from wood. The designation "forks and spoons" encompasses a wide variety of these utensils, from simple disposable wooden cutlery to more elaborately designed reusable versions, as long as their primary material is wood.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 4419.90.91.00, which covers "Other" wooden tableware and kitchenware. While both fall under the broader classification of wooden tableware and kitchenware, 4419.90.11.00 is exclusively for forks and spoons. The sibling category would include other wooden items used in the kitchen or for serving, such as spatulas, ladles, chopsticks, bowls, plates, or cutting boards, provided they are not forks or spoons.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification for wooden forks and spoons is definitive at this level. Classification within this code relies on the item being a fork or spoon and predominantly made of wood, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 44, which deals with wood and articles of wood.
