4407.19.00.54 - Having a minimum dimension less than 5.1 cm

This HTS classification, 4407.19.00.54, specifically covers coniferous wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and further processed by planing, sanding, or end-jointing. Crucially, this category applies to such wood when its minimum dimension is less than 5.1 cm. This includes a variety of coniferous species other than those specifically enumerated under previous subheadings, provided they are not treated. The "rough" designation further refines this classification to wood that has undergone the initial cutting and processing but has not been further worked into finished goods.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the specified minimum dimension of the wood. HTS 4407.19.00.54 is for wood pieces where the smallest cross-sectional dimension is under 5.1 cm. In contrast, 4407.19.00.55 covers wood with a minimum dimension between 5.1 cm and 12.7 cm, and 4407.19.00.56 applies to wood where the minimum dimension is 12.7 cm or greater. All other processing and material characteristics remain consistent across these sibling categories.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific item. Therefore, accurate classification hinges on confirming that the wood in question meets all the preceding criteria (coniferous, sawn/chipped/sliced/peeled, planed/sanded/end-jointed, not treated, Douglas-fir, and rough) and possesses a minimum dimension strictly below 5.1 cm. Examples of such items could include smaller dimension lumber or molding components made from rough-sawn coniferous wood meeting these specifications.
