Paper products made from bamboo pulp were held classifiable under Ch. 48 because "paper pulp" in the Chapter encompasses bamboo pulp (specifically covered by Hdg. 4706), and household/sanitary paper is classified by Note 8 based on size and finishing: goods meeting the dimensional/processing criteria fall under Hdg. 4818, while only oversized, unfinished rolls/sheets fall under Hdg. 4803. Bamboo toothpicks, skewers, and fruit forks were held not to be plaiting materials or products of plaiting, but finished articles akin to wood tableware/kitchenware; they were classified under Hdg. 4419 (TI 4419 19 00). Wooden spoon/fork blanks, having the approximate outline of finished articles, were treated as finished tableware under Hdg. 4419, but 8-digit classification was not determined due to unspecified wood species. - AAR
