9403.99.90.20 - Welded wire rack, whether or not galvanized, plated or coated 🖩

This HTS category, 9403.99.90.20, specifically classifies welded wire racks, regardless of whether they have undergone galvanizing, plating, or any other coating process. These racks are typically used for storage, display, or organization within a variety of settings, from industrial environments to retail spaces. The emphasis is on the construction method (welded wire) and the material composition, distinguishing them from other types of furniture parts.

Unlike sibling category 9403.99.90.40, which is exclusively for parts of steel racks specifically identified under statistical reporting number 9403.20.0082, this category encompasses a broader range of welded wire racks made from various metals. The sibling category 9403.99.90.45, "Other," represents a residual category for other miscellaneous furniture parts not otherwise specified, making this category more granular in its definition of welded wire racks.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on ensuring that the imported or exported item is indeed a welded wire rack, irrespective of its surface treatment or the specific metal used, provided it does not fall under the more specific steel rack classification or a general "other" furniture part category. Careful consideration of the rack's construction and intended use is paramount for accurate classification under this heading.
