Harmonised Standard Explanatory Notes (HSENs) paragraph (3) to heading 7326
Considered trader’s suggested commodity code 94032080. Excluded from this code. HSEN to heading 9403 part (a) states that the heading does not cover travelling chests, trunks and the like, not having the character of furniture. The item subject to classification in this ruling is a box designed to store tools and other related items and has mountings enabling it to be secured to the floor of vans, trucks etc. The essential character is not that of furniture but of the constituent material which gives the product it’s strength, security and sturdiness. Paragraph (3) of HSENs to heading 7326 covers such articles.
