HS Code for Wooden cabinet doors
Wooden cabinet doors are classified under HS code 9403.91, which covers "parts of furniture, of wood." This classification is used because cabinet doors are identifiable components of a larger furniture unit rather than independent articles. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), parts of furniture are classified under the same heading as the furniture itself, provided they are not specifically covered by another heading and are suitable for use solely or principally with the furniture of heading 9403. Since a cabinet door is a dedicated part of a cupboard or vanity, it falls under the "parts" subheading. It is vital to distinguish these from doors used for buildings (such as room entry doors), which fall under Chapter 44. The wooden cabinet doors classified here can be finished, painted, or unfinished, and may include carvings or decorative moldings. However, they must be recognizable as furniture parts. If the doors are imported as part of a complete "knock-down" cabinet set, the entire shipment might be classified as the finished furniture (e.g., 9403.40 for kitchen furniture), but when imported as individual replacement components or separate units, 9403.91 is the correct designation. This code ensures that the components of the furniture industry are tracked separately from general construction materials.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent error is classifying cabinet doors under 4418.20, which is for "doors and their frames and thresholds." However, 4418.20 is strictly for structural building doors. Another common mistake is using 4421 for general wood articles, but 9403.91 is more specific for furniture components.
