4403.23.01.65 - Other

HTS Code 4403.23.01.65 specifically classifies "Other" types of coniferous wood that fall within the broader category of coniferous logs and timber. This subcategory is reserved for coniferous wood that does not fit into more specific descriptions under the 4403.23 heading. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that the smallest cross-sectional dimension of the wood is 15 cm or more, and it is of fir (Abies spp.) or spruce (Picea spp.). This code encompasses coniferous wood in its rough state, meaning it has not undergone significant processing beyond being stripped of bark or sapwood, or being roughly squared.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories. "Poles, piles and posts" are typically used for structural or supportive purposes and are often treated or shaped for specific applications. "Logs and timber" is a broader grouping for coniferous wood with the specified dimensions. Therefore, this "Other" category acts as a residual classification for fir and spruce logs and timber meeting the size criteria that do not align with more defined uses or forms.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends here, meaning that any fir or spruce logs or timber with a smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more, which are not specifically classified as poles, piles, posts, or other distinct types of logs and timber, will be classified under this residual "Other" code. This ensures that all qualifying coniferous wood, regardless of minor variations not covered by more specific subheadings, is appropriately accounted for within the HTS.
