4407.29.02.96 - Other

This category, HTS 4407.29.02.96, covers "Other" woods within the "Other" tropical wood subgroup, specifically referring to sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled lumber exceeding 6 mm in thickness. Unlike its sibling categories which specify particular species such as Acajou d'Afrique, Anigre, Keruing, Ipé, Andiroba, and Padauk, this classification acts as a residual category for tropical wood lumber that does not fall under the more specifically enumerated tropical wood species listed at the 8-digit level.

The distinction lies in the specific botanical identification of the wood. When a tropical wood lumber product, fitting the general description of sawn or chipped timber over 6 mm thick, is not explicitly identified by common or botanical names matching the preceding sibling codes (e.g., 4407.29.02.06 through 4407.29.02.40, and other similar entries), it will be classified under this "Other" provision. This ensures all tropical wood lumber meeting the general criteria is accounted for, even if it doesn't correspond to the most frequently traded or precisely defined species.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification process relies on a thorough examination of the wood's origin and species identification. If a tropical wood cannot be positively identified with one of the more specific sibling categories, it will default to this general "Other" classification.
