## Common ground
All options are coat racks not designed for floor or ground placement—meaning they are wall-mounted or freestanding but not intended to sit directly on the floor.
## Options at a glance
**3924.90 – Plastic material**
- **Defining trait:** Made primarily from synthetic plastic, often lightweight and molded.

**4420.90 – Wood, marquetry or inlaid wood**
- **Defining trait:** Features natural wood with decorative inlays or layered wood patterns (marquetry).
- **Typical examples:** Handcrafted wooden rack with intricate wood inlay designs, ornate wall-mounted rack.
- **Best fit when:** The product has visible wood grain, artistic inlays, or high-end craftsmanship.
**4421.9X – Wood**
- **Defining trait:** Made of solid or basic wood without marquetry or inlay; simpler construction.
- **Typical examples:** Simple wooden coat rack with straight dowels or slats, plain pine wall rack.

**8302.50 – Base metal**
- **Defining trait:** Made of ferrous or non-ferrous metals (e.g., steel, iron, aluminum) without plating or coating.

## Key differences
| Option | Material Type | Surface Finish | Decorative Elements |
|--------|----------------|------------------|------------------------|
| 3924.90 | Plastic | Smooth, molded | None |
| 4420.90 | Wood with inlay | Natural or polished | Yes (marquetry/inlaid) |

## How to choose
- Is the product made of plastic? → 3924.90
- Does it have decorative inlays or marquetry? → 4420.90
- Is it made of wood but without inlays? → 4421.9X
- Is it made of bare metal (e.g., steel, iron) with no coating? → 8302.50
## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A wooden rack with paint or finish could be in 4421.9X or 4420.90 if inlaid—priority should be on decorative elements.
- A metal rack with a painted finish might not fit 8302.50; if coated, it may belong elsewhere.
- If unsure, use the **main material** and **presence of decoration** as deciding factors. No option is inherently more important—choose based on product’s defining feature
