9706.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," under 9706.90.00, serves as a residual classification for antiques that exceed 100 years of age but do not meet the more specific criteria of other subdivisions within the 9706.00.00 heading. It is important to note that this category specifically applies to items where the primary distinguishing characteristic is their age exceeding a century, and they are not otherwise classifiable under the more specific "Antiques of an age exceeding 250 years" heading (9706.10.00).

The distinction from the sibling category 9706.10.00 is crucial. While both deal with antiques over 100 years old, 9706.10.00 is reserved exclusively for items demonstrably exceeding 250 years of age. Therefore, this "Other" category captures valuable historical artifacts and artistic creations that have passed the 100-year mark but have not yet reached the 250-year threshold, and also do not fall into any of the more specific subcategories.

To provide more granular classification within this broad "Other" category, several subcategories have been established. These include 9706.90.00.20 for silverware, 9706.90.00.40 for furniture, and a further 9706.90.00.60 designated for other miscellaneous items. These subdivisions allow for a more precise identification and tracking of specific types of antique goods that meet the general age requirement.
