Overview
This classification, HTS Code 4421.99.15.00, specifically designates "Other" wood dowel pins that are plain. It encompasses dowel pins made of wood that are not coniferous, are intended for general use rather than a specialized purpose, and possess a smooth, unfinished surface without any additional shaping, grooving, or specialized treatments beyond basic cutting to size.
This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 4421.99.10.00, by the type of wood used. While 4421.99.10.00 covers dowel pins made from coniferous woods (such as pine, fir, or spruce), this category is reserved for dowel pins crafted from non-coniferous wood species, which can include hardwoods like oak, maple, beech, or birch, as well as other less common non-coniferous woods. The "plain" designation further refines its scope, excluding dowels that might have decorative elements or specific functional modifications.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive for plain, non-coniferous wood dowel pins that do not fall under any more specific provisions. Importers should ensure that the physical characteristics and material composition of the dowel pins align precisely with these criteria to maintain correct classification.
