Overview
This HTS classification, 4403.99.01.95, designates "Other" wood in the rough, stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, that does not fall into any of the more specific subcategories. It encompasses a broad range of timber that doesn't fit predefined species or other distinct characteristics at this level of detail within Chapter 44. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is simply that the wood meets the general definition of wood in the rough as outlined in heading 4403 and its preceding subheadings, but lacks further specific categorization.
To distinguish this category from its siblings, one must consider the enumerated species provided under sibling categories such as ash, western red alder, cherry, maple, and walnut. HTS code 4403.99.01.95 is applied when the wood in question is not identifiable as any of these specific species, or any other specifically listed types at this level. Therefore, if a piece of rough-squared timber cannot be definitively identified and classified under a more granular sibling code, it will likely be captured by this general "Other" designation.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification process concludes at this point for goods falling under 4403.99.01.95, meaning that the existing description and the context provided by its parent and sibling categories are sufficient for classification purposes. Importers and customs officials should ensure that all other potential classifications have been thoroughly explored and ruled out before assigning goods to this residual category.
