4407.19.00.66 - Rough

This HTS category, 4407.19.00.66, specifically classifies rough sawn or chipped, sliced, or peeled coniferous wood, not exceeding 6 mm in thickness, that has not been treated and is not of the Larch species. This means it covers a range of coniferous timbers such as Pine, Spruce, and Fir, which have undergone initial processing by sawing, chipping, slicing, or peeling, but have not yet been planed, sanded, or end-jointed. The defining characteristic here is the unprocessed, "rough" state of the wood, where only basic lengthwise dimensioning has occurred.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4407.19.00.67 "Other," is crucial. The sibling category would encompass any other rough sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled coniferous wood not exceeding 6mm in thickness, not treated, and not Larch, which doesn't fit the specific characteristics implied by a more granular classification if one existed. However, in this instance, it appears "Other" is the only other direct sibling at this level, suggesting that 4407.19.00.66 is intended for a broad catch-all of rough coniferous wood that doesn't fall into more specific species or treatment sub-classifications, but the "Larch (Larix spp.)" at the preceding level indicates Larch is handled separately.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends at this specific description, meaning that any coniferous wood meeting the criteria of being rough sawn or chipped, sliced or peeled, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, not treated, and not Larch, will fall under this code. For practical purposes, this category serves as a distinct endpoint for unprocessed coniferous lumber that has not undergone further finishing or treatment beyond basic cutting.
