Last updated: April 2026 dataBurial caskets are a niche but commercially distinct import category, classified primarily in HTS Chapter 94, with duty treatment that varies by construction material — steel, hardwood, or alternative materials such as wicker or biodegradable composites. Domestic producers have historically sought trade protection in this sector, and importers should verify whether any antidumping or countervailing duty proceedings are active for the specific origin and material. End-use documentation and accurate material declarations are important because casket construction standards (sealing versus non-sealing, gauge of steel, wood species) affect both classification and marketability under state funeral-industry regulations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Steel caskets and wooden caskets fall under different HTS subheadings within Chapter 94, and each carries its own column-1 duty rate. Caskets made from alternative materials — wicker, bamboo, or biodegradable composites — may classify elsewhere depending on the essential character of the article. Providing the gauge of steel, wood species, or fiber type on the commercial invoice helps CBP assign the correct subheading at entry.
While CBP governs the federal import process, individual states regulate the sale and use of caskets through funeral industry licensing laws. Some states have historically required caskets to be sold only through licensed funeral homes, though such restrictions have faced legal challenges. Importers and distributors should consult state funeral regulatory boards in their target markets, as compliance requirements can affect distribution channel decisions independent of federal customs clearance.
