HS Code 4417Tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood
1 six-digit code · Heading 17 of 21 in Chapter 44 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 4417 is where customs files wooden tools, handles for tools and brooms, brush bodies, and shoe lasts and trees. Read on to see what fits, how to tell it from nearby headings, and where to look for shipment records.
Heading 4417does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood” classify at the single six-digit code 441700. The heading is number 17 of 21 in Chapter 44, Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal, which runs to 128 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 4417 covers
This heading is for finished wooden items that work as tools or as parts of tools. The item must be made of wood to belong here. Think of the parts you hold, and the forms that give a shoe its shape.
In plain words, these goods fit the heading:
- Wooden tools and tool bodies
- Wooden tool handles
- Broom handles, plus brush bodies and brush handles made of wood
- Boot and shoe lasts, and shoe trees of wood
HS code 441700 and longer national codes
People often search for 441700 or for HSN code 4417. Both point to the same goods. The world standard stops at six digits, so there is no sub-code to choose between.
Many countries add extra digits after those six for their own tariff. You may see longer numbers that start with 441700. The first six digits stay the same. Only the national tail changes.
Duty and tax rates also differ from country to country, so check your own country's tariff for the exact figure. If you are unsure which code fits your product, try the HS code classifier.
How to classify wooden tool handles and shoe lasts
Most mistakes come from picking a neighbouring heading. A few simple checks help.
Start with the state of the wood. Heading 4404 covers wooden sticks that are only roughly trimmed, not turned or bent. They suit walking sticks, umbrellas and tool handles, but they are still raw material. A piece that is already made as a handle belongs with the tools heading.
Next, ask what the item is used for. Wooden ornaments, statuettes, and cases for jewellery or cutlery go to 4420. Wooden articles that fit none of the headings from 4414 to 4420 fall under 4421.
So a wooden spoon is kitchenware, a carved figure is an ornament, and a shoe last is a tools-heading item. If a product could fit two headings, compare the exact wording of each and look at the main use of the goods.
