The ruling was requested on wooden drawer components. A representative cut sample section was submitted for our review. The sample submitted is a portion of a drawer side. It is constructed of a plywood construction veneer core with decorative outer veneers and a transparent coating. The drawer side has a top edge band and a groove that runs the length of the panel to accept a drawer bottom. You state that the drawer sides will be imported in 5’ to 6’ lengths and will be cut to length after importation for assembly into drawer boxes for kitchen cabinets. In your submission, you suggest subheading 4412.99.1040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), as a potential classification for the wooden drawer components. However, the edge banding precludes classification in heading 4412, HTSUS. The applicable subheading for the wooden drawer components will be 4421.90.9780, HTSUS, which provides for Other articles of wood; Edge-glued lumber. The rate of duty will be 3.3 percent ad valorem.
