4407.12.00.20 - Other

This HTS classification, 4407.12.00.20, pertains to wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, and has a thickness exceeding 6 mm. Specifically, it covers coniferous wood of fir (Abies spp.) and spruce (Picea spp.) that has undergone further processing such as planing, sanding, or end-jointing. The "Other" designation within this subcategory indicates that the wood is not rough-sawn.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4407.12.00.19, by the absence of rough processing. While both refer to coniferous wood of fir and spruce exceeding 6 mm in thickness, this classification specifically includes wood that has been further worked beyond initial sawing, such as being planed, sanded, or end-jointed. The crucial distinction lies in the degree of finishing and preparation for its end-use.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification concludes with this detailed description of processed coniferous lumber of fir and spruce, excluding rough material. Importers and exporters should ensure their goods precisely match the description of processed, non-rough spruce lumber to correctly apply this classification.
