4407.11.00.47 - Other

This HTS category, 4407.11.00.47, specifically encompasses "Other" coniferous lumber of pine species, processed beyond rough sawing or chipping. It refers to wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, exceeding 6 mm in thickness, which has undergone further treatment such as planing, sanding, or end-jointing. The defining characteristic is that this lumber is of Southern yellow pine (Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda)), long leaf pine (Pinus palustris), pitch pine (Pinus rigida), short leaf pine (Pinus echinata), slash pine (Pinus elliottii), and Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) species, and it is *not treated* chemically or otherwise.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 4407.11.00.46, which covers "Rough" coniferous lumber of the same pine species. While both fall under pine lumber that is not treated, the "Rough" classification would include lumber that has only undergone the initial sawing or chipping process, without subsequent finishing operations like planing or sanding. This node, therefore, is for the more refined lumber ready for immediate use in joinery, furniture, or construction where a smoother finish is required.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends with the specific identification of the pine species and the fact that the lumber is not treated and has undergone finishing. When classifying goods under this code, importers and exporters should ensure the lumber is indeed from one of the listed pine species, is not treated, and has been planed, sanded, or end-jointed, distinguishing it from rough lumber.
