4421.99.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4421.99.60.00, encompasses a variety of small wooden articles not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 4421. These items are characterized by their relatively small size and often utilitarian or decorative purpose. Examples of products falling under this classification include wooden stirrers for beverages, decorative wooden picks used in food presentation, and small wooden implements for crafts or games. The key criterion for inclusion is that the article is made of wood and does not fit into more specific subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4421.99.50.00, is crucial. While 4421.99.50.00 is exclusively for toothpicks, this residual category, 4421.99.60.00, captures all other small wooden wares that do not fit the specific definition of a toothpick. Therefore, if an item is a wooden implement intended for personal grooming or cleaning between teeth, it belongs to the toothpick category. Conversely, any other small, functional or decorative wooden item would be considered here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4421.99.60.00. Classification decisions at this level rely on a careful review of the physical characteristics and intended use of the wooden article, ensuring it is not specifically provided for under any other HTS provision. The overarching principle is to assign such residual "other" articles of wood to this category only after all more specific classifications have been exhausted.
