Material matters more than function here

HSN 4415 covers packing cases, boxes, crates, drums, cable-drums, and pallets — but strictly of wood. The same products made of plastic, metal, or corrugated fibreboard are classified under entirely different headings with their own rates (plastic packing articles under Chapter 39, corrugated paper/paperboard boxes under 4819).

If you supply pallets or crates in multiple materials under one SKU family, don't assume they all share this code — the material, not the product function, decides the heading.
