9603.10.50.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 9603.10.50.00, covers "Other" brooms that are wholly or in part of broom corn and valued at not over 96 cents each. These brooms represent a specific subset within the broader category of brooms made from vegetable materials. The primary distinguishing factor for inclusion here is their material composition (broom corn) and their unit value, placing them in a particular price tier for customs assessment.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9603.10.40.00, by the absence of the specific quantitative limitation outlined in the sibling. The sibling category is subject to a quota, meaning that once a certain volume of brooms under subheadings 9603.10.40 through 9603.10.60 has been entered or withdrawn in a calendar year, the preferential tariff treatment associated with that quota may no longer apply. Therefore, 9603.10.50.00 applies to brooms of broom corn, valued at not over 96 cents each, irrespective of whether a quota has been reached.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9603.10.50.00 is final once the criteria of material (wholly or in part of broom corn) and unit value (not over 96 cents each) are met. Practical classification will rely on accurate valuation and verification of the broom corn content.
