4421.99.80.24 - Valued not over 80¢/gross

This classification, HTS Code 4421.99.80.24, pertains to wooden clothespins that are of the spring-type design and have a value not exceeding 80 cents per gross. These items fall under the broader category of "Other articles of wood" and specifically within the "Clothespins" subheadings. The material composition must be wood, and the functional mechanism for holding laundry must be a spring. The primary distinguishing factor for this specific code is its low valuation threshold per gross unit.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the declared value per gross. HTS Code 4421.99.80.24 is for clothespins valued at 80 cents or less per gross. In contrast, sibling categories 4421.99.80.27, 4421.99.80.30, and 4421.99.80.33 cover spring-type wooden clothespins with higher valuation thresholds: over 80 cents but not over $1.35/gross, over $1.35 but not over $1.70/gross, and over $1.70/gross, respectively. Therefore, the careful calculation and reporting of the value per gross are critical for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification is finalized at this level based on the described product characteristics: spring-type, made of wood, and its specific value bracket per gross. Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods precisely match the material, form, function, and valuation criteria of this code to avoid misclassification and potential duty discrepancies.
