Overview
This HTS classification, 4403.25.01.55, specifically covers Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) in its rough, unworked state. This includes timber that has been stripped of bark or sapwood, or has been roughly squared. The key defining characteristic for inclusion at this level is that the smallest cross-sectional dimension of the wood must measure 15 centimeters or more.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific species of coniferous wood. While 4403.25.01.40 pertains to Douglas-fir and 4403.25.01.50 covers Western hemlock, this classification is exclusively for Western red cedar. Similarly, it differs from 4403.25.01.52 (Other hemlock) and 4403.25.01.57 (Other cedar) by identifying a particular cedar species.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the species (Western red cedar), condition (wood in the rough, stripped, or roughly squared), and dimensional criteria (smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more).
