4403.22.01 - Of pine (Pinus spp.), other

HTS code 4403.22.01 specifically classifies rough wood of coniferous species, excluding pine (Pinus spp.) that meets the criterion of having a smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more (which would fall under 4403.21.01). This category encompasses rough-cut coniferous timber, which has not undergone further processing such as sawing, peeling, or shaping, beyond the initial rough squaring. Importantly, it includes wood that has been stripped of its bark or sapwood.

This classification is distinct from other siblings within the "Other, coniferous" subcategory. Unlike 4403.25.01, which is for other coniferous wood with a smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more, 4403.22.01 is for coniferous wood that *does not* meet this specific dimension requirement for pine. It also differs from classifications for fir (Abies spp.) and spruce (Picea spp.), both of which have their own designated subheadings.

Within 4403.22.01, further subdivisions exist to categorize the intended use of this rough coniferous wood. These include classifications for pulpwood, which is destined for paper production, as well as poles, piles, and posts, indicating their use in construction or infrastructure. Additionally, a category for logs and timber covers more general timber intended for various woodworking purposes, alongside a residual "other" classification for any remaining rough coniferous wood that does not fit the more specific subcategories.
