4407.12.00.58 - Rough

This classification covers rough, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled wood of fir (Abies spp.). The wood is characterized by a thickness exceeding 6 mm and has not undergone any preservative treatment. This means the material is in its raw or semi-processed state, intended for further manufacturing or use in its natural form, but without any chemical or physical alteration for preservation purposes.

This specific category for fir wood differs from its sibling category, "Other" (4407.12.00.59), by its explicit identification of the species as fir (Abies spp.). While the sibling category would encompass coniferous wood of other specific types not individually listed, this node is exclusively for fir. It also stands apart from other branches within 4407 by specifying "not treated," distinguishing it from any treated or further processed coniferous woods of fir or spruce.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends here, meaning that any wood meeting the criteria of being rough, sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled fir, with a thickness over 6mm and untreated, will fall directly under this HTS code. Examples include rough-cut lumber from fir trees intended for construction, furniture making, or other industrial applications where no preservative treatment has been applied.
