4403.22.01.30 - Other

This classification, HTS 4403.22.01.30, encompasses "Other" coniferous logs and timber of pine (Pinus spp.) that are not specifically enumerated under preceding subheadings within the 4403.22.01 category. This includes various species of pine that do not fall into the defined categories for Southern yellow pine, long leaf pine, pitch pine, short leaf pine, slash pine, Virginia pine, or Ponderosa pine. The defining characteristic is that the wood is coniferous, specifically of the pine genus, and is in its rough, stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared state, suitable for further processing into lumber, veneer, or other wood products.

This category serves as a residual classification for pine logs and timber of a coniferous nature, ensuring all such materials are accounted for within the HTS system. It is distinct from HTS 4403.22.01.20, which specifically identifies certain commercially significant species of Southern yellow and other closely related pines. Similarly, it differs from HTS 4403.22.01.25, which is dedicated to Ponderosa pine. Therefore, when classifying pine logs and timber under this code, it is crucial to first ascertain if they meet the specific species or common name criteria of the sibling categories before assigning them to this general "Other" classification.

As a leaf node, HTS 4403.22.01.30 does not have further subcategories. This means that once a determination is made that pine logs and timber do not fit into the more specific sibling classifications, they are directly classified under this code. The emphasis for classification into this sub-heading is therefore on confirming the material's coniferous pine origin and its form (rough, stripped, or roughly squared), while ruling out its inclusion in the explicitly named pine species categories.
