4407.12.00.18 - Other

This HTS classification, 4407.12.00.18, specifically covers "Other" Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. Importantly, this wood must exceed 6 mm in thickness and can be planed, sanded, or end-jointed. The "Other" designation indicates that it does not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this HTS code.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4407.12.00.17 ("Rough"), by the fact that the wood has undergone further processing beyond its initial sawing or chipping. While "Rough" Sitka spruce implies a more raw, unworked state, this category encompasses Sitka spruce lumber that has been treated with surface treatments like planning or sanding to achieve a smoother finish or more precise dimensions, but is not yet considered a finished article.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise description: Sitka spruce lumber, thicker than 6 mm, that has been sawn or peeled, and has undergone any processing beyond its initial rough state, short of being a finished product falling under a different HTS chapter. This could include dimension lumber intended for further construction or manufacturing where a finished surface is required.
