4403.95.01.30 - Other

This HTS classification, 4403.95.01.30, encompasses "Other" wood in the rough that falls within the broader category of birch (Betula spp.) timber. Specifically, it applies to rough-sawn or stripped logs and timbers where the smallest cross-sectional dimension measures 15 centimeters or more. This designation captures birch wood that does not fit into more specific pre-defined uses at this level of detail within the HTS.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 4403.95.01.27, it's important to note that the sibling specifically designates poles, piles, and posts. Therefore, classification under 4403.95.01.30 is appropriate for any birch timber meeting the size requirement (smallest cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more) that is not intended for, or shaped as, poles, piles, or posts. Examples include raw timber destined for milling into lumber, veneer, or other woodworking applications, provided it maintains its rough or stripped state.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this specific code signifies the final level of detail for this particular type of unworked birch wood. Importers and exporters should ensure that the material's primary characteristics and intended general use align with this residual "other" designation after considering more specific categories at the same level.
