Overview
This HTS category, 9403.20.00.82, encompasses a broad range of steel racks that are not specifically classified under other designated subheadings. These racks are generally designed for storage or display purposes and are distinguished by their construction from steel. The intent of this classification is to capture steel racks that do not fit into more narrowly defined categories based on their specific construction or intended use.
The key differentiator for this category is what it *excludes*. It specifically omits steel shelving units that are prepackaged for retail sale as described in statistical note 4 to this chapter (9403.20.00.75). Additionally, storage lockers, other than exchange lockers, are classified under 9403.20.00.78. This means that 9403.20.00.82 is intended for steel racks that are not boltless or press-fit shelving prepackaged for sale and are not storage lockers.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision for an item falling under 9403.20.00.82 relies heavily on its physical characteristics and intended function as a steel rack, ensuring it meets the general description while not meeting the specific criteria of its sibling categories. Examples might include industrial storage racks, wall-mounted display racks, or freestanding retail display racks made primarily of steel.
