Effective February 27th, 2017, the following OGD extension will be removed from the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) database in order to streamline requirements:
14.01.10.0002 – Bamboo – furniture, baskets, birdcages, lamps, souvenirs, utensils, etc. (Bambusa spp.)
This removal is due to the redundancy of this code as a result of the World Customs Organization (WCO) recent addition of code 44.21.91 – Other : Of bamboo, which now include all of the above described articles.
The description of the following HS code will be modified to include the criteria “without bark”:
44.21.99.0020 – Wooden articles, without bark, made of processed materials (material subjected to conditions such as heat, glue, pressure or any combination thereof).
