Overview
HTS Code 4407.19.00.02 specifically classifies coniferous wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and has a thickness exceeding 6 mm. This category encompasses such wood that has undergone treatment with paint, stain, creosote, or other preservatives. The treatment is a key distinguishing factor, indicating that the wood has been modified to enhance its durability, appearance, or resistance to decay or insect infestation.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, which covers coniferous wood of the same dimensions and processing but is explicitly *not* treated with preservatives. Therefore, the presence or absence of any form of preservative treatment is the primary determinant for distinguishing between these two classifications.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS 4407.19.00.02. Classification at this level is complete once it is determined that the wood is coniferous, sawn/chipped/sliced/peeled with a thickness over 6 mm, and has been treated with a preservative. Examples of such goods would include treated lumber used for outdoor decking, fencing, or construction where enhanced longevity and weather resistance are required.
