Overview
This HTS subcategory, 4403.24.01.35, specifically classifies rough spruce (Picea spp.) logs and timber. This includes wood in its natural state, even if the bark or sapwood has been removed, or if it has been roughly squared. The primary material is spruce, a coniferous species characterized by its needle-like leaves and conical shape. These logs and timber are intended for further processing, such as milling into lumber, veneer production, or use in construction and various wood product manufacturing.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4403.24.01.42, is crucial. While both fall under "Other, coniferous: Of fir (Abies spp.) and spruce (Picea spp.), other: Logs and timber:", this specific subcategory is exclusively for spruce. The sibling category, conversely, would encompass logs and timber of other fir species, including balsam fir. Therefore, accurate identification of the coniferous species is the primary differentiator.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. All goods fitting the description of rough spruce logs and timber, as defined by the parent categories, will be classified under this code. This level of detail ensures that trade data accurately reflects the specific types of coniferous timber being imported or exported.
