4601.21.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other" under 4601.21.90.00, encompasses articles made of bamboo that are in the form of mats, matting, or screens but do not fit the specific definition of floor coverings. While sibling category 4601.21.80.00 is designated for items primarily intended and structured for use as floor coverings, this residual category captures other woven, plaited, or similarly constructed bamboo articles serving as mats, matting, or screens for purposes such as decorative coverings, room dividers, or sunshades.

The defining characteristic for classification within 4601.21.90.00 is the material (bamboo) and the form (mats, matting, or screens), excluding those specifically designed and marketed as floor coverings. This category acts as a catch-all for bamboo articles that are sheet-like and made from plaiting materials, but whose primary function is not to be walked upon as a floor covering. Examples could include woven bamboo privacy screens for patios, decorative wall hangings that resemble mats, or intricately woven bamboo panels used as room dividers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on accurately determining that the article is indeed made from bamboo, is presented in a mat, matting, or screen form, and does not meet the specific criteria for floor coverings. Importers should consider the intended use and overall construction of the item to ensure correct classification.
