Written to help non-specialists understand this page. Rates, dates, and legal facts come from the official records above and on the linked source.
HTSUS heading 4419 is a four-digit product category for tableware and kitchenware made of wood. It can cover items such as wooden utensils, serving pieces, boards, bowls, and similar household articles, depending on the tariff schedule’s wording and exclusions. The heading is a starting point, not usually the complete classification.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, review the more detailed subheadings and statistical provisions under 4419. These provisions commonly distinguish products by their type, construction, intended use, or the kind of wood or other material involved. Classification may also depend on whether an item is a composite product, a set, unfinished, or combined with non-wood materials. Read the legal notes, product descriptions, and applicable classification rules rather than choosing based only on a retail name.
What to check
- Describe the article precisely, including its function, dimensions, construction, finish, and all materials.
- Check the complete 4419 hierarchy and compare the product with every available subheading and statistical description.
- Confirm whether the item is a set, composite good, decorative article, or another product that may be covered elsewhere in the HTSUS.
- Review chapter notes, section notes, and exclusions before selecting the 8-digit code.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, and material records; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the classification is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
