Overview
This HTS category, 4421.91, specifically addresses articles manufactured from bamboo that do not fall into more specific classifications within Chapter 44. It encompasses a broad range of finished or semi-finished goods where bamboo is the primary constituent material. Examples include decorative items, utility articles not otherwise specified, and components for larger assemblies, provided they are predominantly made of bamboo.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4421.99, by its exclusive focus on bamboo. While 4421.99 covers "Other" articles of wood not of bamboo, 4421.91 is precisely for those articles where bamboo serves as the foundational material. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, as it targets the specific raw material utilized.
Within the 4421.91 structure, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific type and function of the bamboo article. These include categories for items like toothpicks and skewers, canoe paddles, and other miscellaneous bamboo wares. The presence of these subcategories highlights the need to examine the precise form and intended use of the bamboo article to ensure the most accurate tariff assignment within the broader "other articles of wood, of bamboo" framework.
