4407.11.00.01 - Finger-jointed

This HTS category, 4407.11.00.01, specifically classifies finger-jointed coniferous wood. This designation applies to lumber that has undergone a process where short pieces of wood are cut with interlocking fingers, then glued together to form longer, more stable lengths. The wood itself must be coniferous, meaning it comes from cone-bearing trees such as pine, fir, or spruce. Furthermore, the lumber must have a thickness exceeding 6 mm and have been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. It may also have been planed or sanded. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the end-joining technique employed to create these longer wood pieces.

This category is distinct from its sibling, "Other" (which would likely cover non-finger-jointed coniferous wood of the same thickness and preparation under 4407.11.00), by the specific method of joining the wood pieces. While both may be coniferous and processed similarly, the presence of finger-joints is the key differentiator. This classification ensures that products manufactured using this specific construction technique are accurately identified for customs purposes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 4407.11.00.01 is final for finger-jointed coniferous lumber meeting the specified thickness and processing requirements. This precise classification is important for tracking trade in engineered wood products and for applying any specific duties or regulations associated with them.
