4403.11.00.60 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 4403.11.00.60 specifically classifies "Other" coniferous wood in the rough that has been treated with paint, stain, creosote, or other preservatives. This category encompasses coniferous logs, poles, piles, or posts that, while fitting the general description of treated rough wood, do not fall into more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of treated coniferous rough wood. The treatment is intended to protect the wood from decay, insects, or weathering, making it suitable for specific applications such as construction or infrastructure.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, "Poles, piles and posts:" under the same level of treatment and wood type. While the sibling category might specifically denote the intended end-use for these types of timber, HTS 4403.11.00.60 serves as a residual category for any other treated coniferous rough wood that doesn't fit a more precisely defined end-use classification at this specific level of the tariff schedule. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the absence of a specific structural end-use designation within this particular HTS code.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under HTS 4403.11.00.60. Classification into this code therefore relies on meeting the criteria of being coniferous, in the rough (even if stripped of bark or roughly squared), and having undergone treatment with preservatives. Examples could include treated coniferous logs destined for export without a specific defined structural purpose or any other treated coniferous timber that does not align with the more specific classifications of poles, piles, or posts at this level.
