4403.21.01.65 - Other

This HTS category, 4403.21.01.65, specifically covers "Other" wood within the broader classification of coniferous wood, that is roughly squared, stripped of bark or sapwood, or in the rough. To fall under this designation, the coniferous timber must have a smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 centimeters or more. This category acts as a residual for coniferous wood meeting the dimensional requirements that doesn't fit into more specific sub-classifications within the broader "logs and timber" or "poles, piles, and posts" categories.

The key distinguishing factor for this category is the absence of specific end-use or shape beyond being roughly squared or in a raw state, provided the minimum cross-sectional dimension is met. It differentiates itself from sibling categories by not being specifically designated for use as structural poles, piles, or posts, nor is it exclusively defined as logs intended for primary milling into lumber. Instead, it encompasses a range of coniferous timber pieces that, while substantial in size, are not yet processed into more defined forms or identified for a particular application.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods will rely solely on meeting the defined criteria of being rough, stripped, or squared coniferous wood with a smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more, and not fitting into any more specific existing sibling classifications. This ensures that all such qualifying coniferous timber, not otherwise classified, finds its designated place in the tariff schedule for customs purposes.
