HS HEADING 4419

Tableware and kitchenware, of wood

In plain English

This category includes wooden tableware and kitchenware, as well as items made from bamboo. The classification distinguishes between general wooden goods and those specifically crafted from bamboo, such as bread boards, chopping boards, and chopsticks. It further separates products made from tropical wood from other wooden items that are neither bamboo nor tropical wood.

Chapter 44 classification notes

Chapter 44 dominated by tropical-hardwood trade — significant CITES Appendix II coverage (rosewood, mahogany). EUTR (EU Timber Regulation) and US Lacey Act apply to imports — illegal-origin wood seizure routine.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Bamboo articles go to Chapter 14 or 46 (plaiting materials), not 44; bamboo flooring (engineered) is 4418.
