9614.00.94.00 - Of metal 🖩

This HTS category, 9614.00.94.00, specifically covers smoking pipes, cigar holders, and cigarette holders, along with their constituent parts, that are manufactured from metal. This encompasses a broad range of items designed for the consumption of tobacco or similar substances, where the primary material of construction or a significant portion thereof is metal. Examples include, but are not limited to, metal pipes with bowls made of other materials (provided the overall item is classified as "of metal"), all-metal pipes, metal cigar tubes, and metal cigarette holders.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 9614.00.98, which is designated for "Other" smoking pipes, cigar holders, cigarette holders, and parts thereof. While 9614.00.94.00 is narrowly defined by the material of construction (metal), the "Other" category would encompass items not specifically covered by the metal designation, such as those primarily made of wood, plastic, ceramic, or other non-metal materials, or composite items where metal is not the predominant classification factor.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories under 9614.00.94.00. Therefore, all qualifying metal smoking pipes, cigar holders, cigarette holders, and their parts fall directly into this specific tariff heading. Classification decisions within this category will hinge on the primary material composition of the article being "metal."
