4421.99.98.70 - Gates for confining children or pets 🖩

This HTS code, 4421.99.98.70, specifically covers gates designed and manufactured for the purpose of confining children or pets. These articles, predominantly constructed from wood, serve as physical barriers to restrict movement within a home or designated area. The primary function is safety and containment, distinguishing them from general wooden articles not intended for this specific application.

While the broader category of "Other articles of wood" encompasses a vast array of wooden goods, this subcategory narrows the focus to a particular type of functional item. It differentiates itself from sibling categories such as "Pencil slats" (4421.99.98.20) which are components for writing implements, and other "Other" articles that lack the specific confinement purpose. The defining characteristic is the intended use as a barrier for children or pets.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4421.99.98.70 relies heavily on the explicit design and intended use of the wooden gate. If an article is made of wood and is clearly manufactured to function as a gate for restricting the movement of children or pets, it will be classified here. Any wooden gates not serving this specific purpose would fall under a different HTS classification.
