Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4417 when importing or exporting wooden tools, tool bodies, or handles. For instance, if you're shipping wooden broom handles or shoe lasts, this code applies. It captures a variety of wooden items used in tool-making and other applications.
The line 441700 includes all forms of wooden tools and handles, but you'll need to clarify the specific use. If your shipment consists of wooden tool bodies, ensure they fit the definition of tools rather than just decorative items, as that could affect classification.
