HS-4 · Heading

4416Casks, barrels, vats, tubs and other coopers' products and parts thereof, of wood, including staves

Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 4416 when importing wooden casks, barrels, vats, or tubs. For example, if you're shipping oak barrels for aging wine, this is the correct code. It covers all cooper's products made from wood, including staves used in barrel construction.

When deciding between HS-6 441600 and other codes, consider the specific type of product. If your shipment includes wooden vats for fermentation, it still falls under 4416, but ensure the product is indeed classified as a cooper's product.

If you're unsure whether your item fits as a cooper's product, check if it’s primarily constructed for liquid storage or transport. Items like wooden tubs for soaking or fermentation also qualify under this heading, while non-cooper's wooden containers may not.
