9403.99.20.80 - Other

This HTS category, 9403.99.20.80, designates "Other" parts for furniture that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the "Other furniture and parts thereof" heading, and are derived from materials like cane, osier, bamboo, or similar plant-based fibrous materials. This classification applies to components that are integral to the construction or assembly of furniture but do not fit into more specific subcategories based on their material composition or intended use.

Crucially, this "Other" category for cane, osier, bamboo, or similar materials distinguishes itself from its sibling, 9403.99.20.40, which is exclusively for parts made of rattan. While rattan is a type of cane, this specific sibling category targets parts made solely from rattan. Therefore, if a furniture part is made from bamboo, willow (osier), or other fibrous plant materials that are not rattan, and it is not otherwise specifically classified, it would fall under this 9403.99.20.80 designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on identifying that the part is indeed a component of furniture, is made from cane, osier, bamboo, or similar materials, and is not rattan or otherwise specifically enumerated under a more precise subheading. Examples could include bamboo dowels, woven osier panels for decorative elements, or other structural or decorative components made from these natural fibers, when not classified elsewhere.
