9403.30.80.01 - Of Padauk (Padouk) or Narra (Pterocarpus spp.)

This HTS classification, 9403.30.80.01, specifically enumerates office furniture constructed from Padauk (also known as Padouk) or Narra (various species of Pterocarpus) woods. These woods are characterized by their distinct color and grain patterns, making them recognizable for classification purposes. The category is designed to capture wooden office furniture that does not fall under more specific subheadings based on particular wood species.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate tariff application. For instance, 9403.30.80.05 covers office furniture made from a different set of precious hardwoods like Rosewood and Kingwood. Similarly, 9403.30.80.21 is reserved for teak, while 9403.30.80.31 applies to Wenge wood. This particular subheading, 9403.30.80.01, serves as a distinct classification for furniture made from Padauk or Narra, ensuring that these specific wood types are correctly accounted for in trade data.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this heading relies solely on the identification of Padauk or Narra as the primary wood constituent of the office furniture. When encountering furniture that appears to be made from these woods, customs officers and trade professionals should confirm the species through visual inspection or supporting documentation to ensure correct entry.
