4421.99.70.20 - Assembled fence sections

This HTS category, "Assembled fence sections" (4421.99.70.20), specifically covers pre-fabricated panels or units designed for the construction of fences. These sections are typically constructed from various types of wood, and their assembly signifies that the individual components (such as pickets, rails, or posts) have been joined together into a coherent unit prior to import or export. The primary characteristic is their ready-to-install nature, forming a ready-made fence segment.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, "Other" (4421.99.70.40), which would encompass any other wooden articles classified under 4421.99.70 that do not fit the specific description of "Assembled fence sections." For example, loose, un-assembled fence components, or individual wooden fence parts not yet joined into a section, would fall under the "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 4421.99.70.20 is determined by the presence of a functional, assembled fence structure made of wood, distinguishing it from the individual components or other wooden articles that fall under broader headings. The key differentiating factor is the completed, ready-to-deploy nature of the fence section.
