Answer to August 15, 2011 Question
Answer: A
This is a job for GRI 2a. Remember that unfinished or unassembled goods can be classified as the finished good if they have the essential character of the finished article.
B is incorrect because the provision is for wooden beds. The futon is metal.
C is incorrect because the provision is for wood parts. The metal futon has the essential character of the seat, not a part.
D is incorrect because the provision is only for metal parts.
E is incorrect because this answer provides for metal and wooden parts.
A is correct because the provision specifically mentions seats that convert into beds.
