Overview
HTS code 4407.11.00 specifically classifies coniferous wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and is of a thickness exceeding 6 mm. This category focuses exclusively on timber derived from pine species (Pinus spp.). The wood may have undergone further processing such as planing, sanding, or end-jointing, but its origin from pine is the primary defining characteristic for this classification.
This classification is distinct from its siblings which cover other coniferous species or combinations thereof. For instance, 4407.12.00 encompasses wood of fir and spruce, while 4407.13.00.00 covers the S-P-F group (spruce, pine, and fir). Similarly, 4407.14.00.00 is reserved for Hem-fir species. HTS code 4407.11.00 isolates pine lumber for specific tariff purposes, differentiating it from these broader or differently defined coniferous groupings.
Within this category, further sub-classification exists to address specific processing methods. Subcategory 4407.11.00.01 pertains to pine lumber that has been finger-jointed, a technique used to join smaller pieces of wood end-to-end to create longer lengths. The subsequent "Other" subcategory would then encompass all other forms of pine lumber meeting the general criteria of 4407.11.00 that are not finger-jointed.
