    <title>Bamboo pulp paper products and bamboo toothpicks/skewers: classified under Ch.48/4818, and 4419 for tableware; 4803 excluded.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=95111</link>
    <description>Paper products made from bamboo pulp were held classifiable under Ch. 48 because &quot;paper pulp&quot; 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</description>
