9603.90.80 - Other

This category, HTS code 9603.90.80, serves as a residual classification for various sweeping and dusting implements not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the broader heading for brooms, brushes, and mops. It encompasses a range of hand-operated cleaning tools designed for the removal of dust and debris from surfaces.

While HTS code 9603.90.40.00 specifically covers feather dusters, this category is distinct by including items primarily constructed from other materials and designed for more robust sweeping or dusting applications. It broadly applies to articles that, while performing a similar function to brooms and brushes, do not fit into more precise subheadings.

Within this residual classification, further subheadings provide more specific categorization. These include whiskbrooms (9603.90.80.10), often characterized by their smaller size and use for quick cleanups; upright brooms (9603.90.80.20), designed for standard floor sweeping; push brooms with a width of 41 cm or less (9603.90.80.30), typically used for larger surface areas or more efficient sweeping; and "other brooms" (9603.90.80.40), which captures any broom not falling into the previous specialized broom categories. The final subheading, "Other" (9603.90.80.50), is a further residual category for any remaining items within this general classification that do not meet the criteria for the preceding subcategories.
