4403.98.00.95 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 4403.98.00.95, pertains to "Other" wood in the rough, specifically eucalyptus species, that does not fall under the more narrowly defined categories at this level. It encompasses eucalyptus logs, timber, or billets that are either stripped of bark or sapwood, or are roughly squared, but are not intended for specific uses like pulpwood or as poles, piles, or posts. The key characteristic is that these are raw wood materials primarily for general processing or further manufacturing where a specific end-use is not pre-defined or as the primary classification determinant.

Distinct from its siblings, this category excludes eucalyptus wood specifically designated as pulpwood (4403.98.00.23), which is intended for paper production, and eucalyptus wood intended for use as poles, piles, or posts (4403.98.00.28), where the form and intended structural function are the primary classifying factors. Therefore, 4403.98.00.95 captures any rough eucalyptus wood not meeting these specialized definitions, such as general lumber feedstock or wood for less common industrial applications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 4403.98.00.95 is determined by the exclusion of more specific eucalyptus wood types and the general description of rough-squared or debarked eucalyptus wood not otherwise specified. Importers should ensure the material is indeed eucalyptus and does not fit the defined purposes of the sibling subheadings to correctly apply this classification.
