4407.19.00.55 - Having a minimum dimension 5.1 cm or more but less than 12.7 cm

This HTS category, 4407.19.00.55, specifically classifies coniferous wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, and is not further processed beyond potential planing, sanding, or end-jointing. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is that the wood must possess a minimum dimension of 5.1 cm or more, but less than 12.7 cm. This implies that all cross-sectional dimensions of the piece of wood must meet this criterion to fall within this classification.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings primarily by the specified range of minimum dimensions. HTS code 4407.19.00.54 covers similar wood where the minimum dimension is less than 5.1 cm, while HTS code 4407.19.00.56 includes wood with a minimum dimension of 12.7 cm or more. Therefore, precise measurement of the smallest cross-sectional dimension is crucial for correct classification between these three sister categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific code. Classification concludes at this level based on the type of coniferous wood, its processing (sawn, chipped, sliced, peeled, planed, sanded, or end-jointed), and the critical minimum dimension falling within the 5.1 cm to less than 12.7 cm range. This precise definition ensures that these specific dimensions of Douglas-fir lumber are accurately accounted for in international trade data.
