4407.92.00.00 - Of beech (Fagus spp.)

This HTS classification, 4407.92.00.00, pertains to wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled, and further processed to be either planed, sanded, or end-jointed. Crucially, the wood in this category must have a thickness exceeding 6 millimeters. The defining characteristic for this specific code is that the wood is derived from beech species (Fagus spp.). This designation applies to a wide range of beech timber products meeting the aforementioned processing and thickness criteria.

The distinction of this category lies in its specific timber species. While it falls under the broader heading of "Other" woods not otherwise specified within 4407, it is differentiated from siblings such as oak (4407.91.00), maple (4407.93.00), cherry (4407.94.00.00), ash (4407.95.00.00), and birch (4407.96.00), by the exclusive use of beech timber. Therefore, any sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled wood exceeding 6mm in thickness, which has undergone planing, sanding, or end-jointing, will be classified here if it originates from beech.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level are final and depend on the accurate identification of the wood species as beech. Users should ensure that the timber in question is indeed from the Fagus genus to correctly apply this tariff code. This ensures accurate customs declarations and adherence to trade regulations for beech wood products.
