4421.91.80.27 - Valued over 80¢ but not over $1.35/gross

This HTS category, 4421.91.80.27, specifically covers spring-type clothespins manufactured from bamboo. These are designed to grip clothing items to a line and utilize a spring mechanism for their clamping action. The defining characteristic for this subcategory, beyond being bamboo spring-type clothespins, is their value bracket.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the per-gross value of the clothespins. Category 4421.91.80.24 encompasses spring-type bamboo clothespins valued at 80 cents or less per gross. Conversely, categories 4421.91.80.30 and 4421.91.80.33 apply to those valued at over $1.35 per gross, with further subdivisions for those exceeding $1.70 per gross. Therefore, 4421.91.80.27 is exclusively for spring-type bamboo clothespins whose wholesale price falls between 81 cents and $1.35 per gross.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for bamboo spring-type clothespins based on value. Classification at this level is determined by the material (bamboo), the type (spring-type clothespin), and the specific value threshold per gross, as outlined by the customs authority. Importers must ensure accurate calculation and declaration of this value to ensure correct classification.
