TOOLS, TOOL BODIES, TOOL HANDLES, BROOM OR BRUSH BODIES AND HANDLES, OF WOOD BOOT OR SHOE LASTS AND TREES, OF WOOD
Wooden tools, handles, broom bodies, and shoe lasts
HSN 4417 00 00 (tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles of wood in Chapter 44 — particularly processed timber, plywood, or wood-based panels — may fall under tariff lines that carry compliance obligations, making precise classification essential.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 44 wood family: wood-based panels, fibreboard, and plywood lines carry distinct quality and safety obligations, and a customs re-classification to any such line triggers retrospective compliance. Where a wooden handle or tool body is imported as part of a composite article — affixed to a metal tool head, for example — the complete article may classify elsewhere and attract the compliance regime of the primary product. Verify the precise article description and construction against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
