CN Explanatory Notes
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
4416 00 00 · Casks, barrels, vats, tubs and other coopers' products and parts thereof, of wood, including staves
Casks and barrels have a body which bulges in the middle and have two closed ends. Vats and tubs usually have only one closed end and may have a removable lid.
The species most commonly used are chestnut and oak.
Parts include staves and heads of barrels, and other coopers' products.
Staves are planed planks, more or less bent, pared or chamfered at one end at least, with a groove known as a ‘croze’, for assembly.
The heads are cut to a circular shape of the required circumference and bevelled on both sides to enable them to be inserted into the croze.
