4420.11.00 - Of tropical wood

This HTS subcategory, 4420.11.00, specifically classifies statuettes and other ornaments that are made of wood derived from tropical species. This includes a wide array of decorative wooden items, such as carvings, figurines, and ornamental pieces, provided their primary material originates from trees typically found in tropical regions. The "tropical wood" designation is a key differentiator for items falling under this code.

Within the broader category of "Statuettes and other ornaments" under HTS 4420, this subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 4420.19.00.00 ("Other"). The sibling category encompasses statuettes and ornaments made from non-tropical wood or other materials not specifically defined elsewhere within Chapter 44. Therefore, classification here hinges on the definitive origin of the wood as being tropical.

Further refinement within this subcategory is provided by its own children. For instance, 4420.11.00.10 distinguishes ornaments made of mango wood, a specific type of tropical wood. This highlights how the HTS system allows for more granular classification based on the particular species of tropical wood used, enabling more precise trade data collection and tariff application.
