4407.19.00.75 - Other

This HTS category, 4407.19.00.75, encompasses lumber of yellow cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) that is **not** rough. This means the wood has undergone further processing beyond initial sawing or chipping. Specifically, it includes yellow cedar lumber that has been planed, sanded, or end-jointed, and has a thickness exceeding 6 mm. The key characteristic here is that the wood's surfaces have been treated to achieve a smoother finish or to prepare it for specific joinery applications, distinguishing it from the more raw, unprocessed state.

This category is specifically differentiated from its sibling, 4407.19.00.74 (Rough), which covers yellow cedar lumber in its initial sawn or chipped state, without any further finishing treatments like planing or sanding. While both are coniferous yellow cedar sawn lengthwise, this "Other" category signifies a higher degree of processing. The "Not treated" sub-level indicates that the wood has not undergone chemical treatments such as preservation or fire retardancy.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The focus remains on precisely identifying and classifying yellow cedar lumber that meets the criteria of being sawn or chipped, exceeding 6 mm in thickness, and having been planed, sanded, or end-jointed, while not having been chemically treated. This level of detail ensures accurate import and export declarations for this specific type of processed wood.
