Overview
This HTS category specifically classifies boltless or press-fit steel shelving units that are prepackaged for retail sale, as further defined by statistical note 4 to Chapter 94. These units are designed for storage and display purposes and are characterized by their assembly method, which does not involve traditional bolting or welding, and their presentation as a complete, packaged product ready for immediate sale to end-users.
It is crucial to distinguish these shelving units from their sibling categories. For instance, while 9403.20.00.78 covers storage lockers (excluding exchange lockers), and 9403.20.00.82 refers to steel racks that are not boltless/press-fit and prepackaged, this particular heading focuses solely on the prepackaged, boltless/press-fit steel shelving. Category 9403.20.00.86 encompasses "Other" metal furniture that does not fit into the more specific subheadings within 9403.20.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9403.20.00.75 is final for qualifying boltless or press-fit steel shelving units that meet the prepackaging and statistical note 4 criteria. Importers should ensure that the product's construction (boltless/press-fit), material (steel), and packaging (prepackaged for sale) align precisely with the description and statistical note to ensure accurate classification.
