What decides the code
A cutting board is classified as tableware or kitchenware by its material. Bamboo boards fall under 4419.11.00.00, other wood under 4419.90.91.00, and plastic under 3924.10.40.00.
- Material decides the heading. Bamboo goes to 4419.11.00.00, other wood to 4419.90.91.00, and plastic to 3924.10.40.00.
- Bamboo is named separately from other wood in heading 4419, so a bamboo board cannot take the wood residual line 4419.90.91.00.
- A board of plastic is classified in heading 3924, not in the wood headings, because the material is not wood.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a bamboo board under 4419.90.91.00 is wrong because heading 4419 gives bamboo its own line at 4419.11.00.00.
- Classifying a plastic cutting board under 4419.90.91.00 is wrong because heading 4419 covers only wood articles.
- Classifying a wooden cutting board under 3924.10.40.00 is wrong because that line covers plastic tableware and kitchenware.
