Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used or refurbished
Previously used casks, barrels, or hogsheads are classified separately from new ones.
If imported as unassembled staves only
Individual wooden staves without assembly are classified as wooden boards or staves, not complete coopers' products.
If filled with spirits at import
Wooden barrels containing distilled spirits are classified based on the spirit content, not the container.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming the wood is heat-treated or fumigated to meet ISPM 15 standards
• Verify barrel volume and stave thickness documentation to confirm classification as new coopers' products
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no prior use; used barrels fall under different subheadings
