4407.11.00.43 - Other

This HTS classification, 4407.11.00.43, encompasses "Other" wood of coniferous species, specifically pine (Pinus spp.), that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and exceeds 6 mm in thickness. Crucially, these wood products are neither rough-sawn nor treated. This means they have undergone some degree of finishing beyond initial milling but have not been subjected to chemical or physical treatments for preservation or modification.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 4407.11.00.42 ("Rough"), lies in the degree of processing. While "Rough" primarily covers lumber as it comes directly from the saw or chipper, this "Other" category includes pine lumber that may have been planed, sanded, or end-jointed, indicating a more refined state of preparation before potential further use. However, the absence of treatment differentiates it from further down the tariff schedule where treated coniferous lumber would be classified.

As a leaf node, 4407.11.00.43 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on accurately identifying the wood as Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) or red pine (Pinus resinosa), confirming it is sawn or processed as described, not rough, and has not undergone any treatment. This level of specificity is vital for accurate duty assessment and compliance.
