HTSUS heading 4421 is a broad product category for “other articles of wood.” It generally covers finished or partly finished wooden items that are not more specifically described in another heading, such as certain miscellaneous household, construction, packing, or utility articles. The heading is a starting point—not a complete classification decision—and exclusions or more specific headings may apply.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the item’s essential characteristics and intended use, then review the subheadings under 4421. The available breakouts commonly distinguish products by type, design, construction, or material—for example, whether an article is made of particular wood materials or is a specific kind of wooden article. Read the full legal text, including any section or chapter notes and statistical descriptions, and confirm that the product’s facts match the selected code.
What to check
- Describe the product precisely: identify its components, dimensions, construction, finish, and principal use.
- Check whether another HTSUS heading describes the article more specifically before using the residual “other articles” heading.
- Compare every 8-digit statistical breakout under heading 4421, including distinctions based on material, type, or use.
- Verify whether the item is assembled with non-wood materials and determine which component gives it its essential character when the classification rules require that analysis.
- Confirm the classification against current official HTSUS text and, for uncertain or high-risk shipments, seek a customs broker’s advice or a binding ruling.

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.
