4407.11.00.02 - Treated with paint, stain, creosote or other preservative

This HTS category, 4407.11.00.02, specifically classifies coniferous wood, of pine (Pinus spp.), which has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and exceeds 6 mm in thickness. Crucially, this wood has undergone treatment with paint, stain, creosote, or other preserving agents. This treatment is applied to enhance its durability, resistance to decay, insects, or weather, and may also serve a decorative purpose.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, "Not treated," which covers pine lumber of the same dimensions and processing but without any surface application of preservatives, paints, or stains. The presence or absence of these treatments is the primary differentiating factor for classification at this level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this point based on the wood type (coniferous, pine), its form (sawn, chipped, sliced, peeled, thickness over 6 mm), and its treatment status (treated with paint, stain, creosote, or other preservative). Examples of goods falling under this category would include treated pine timbers for outdoor construction, fence posts that have been creosoted, or painted pine boards intended for specific architectural applications where protection is paramount.
