4407.93.00.20 - Other

This HTS category, 4407.93.00.20, encompasses lumber of maple (Acer spp.) that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. The wood must exceed 6 mm in thickness and may have undergone further processing such as planing, sanding, or end-jointing. This classification applies to maple lumber that does not fall under more specific subcategories within the "Other" designation for this type of wood.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4407.93.00.10, by its explicit exclusion of "Hard maple." While both are types of maple lumber falling under the broader category of "Of maple (Acer spp.)", this code specifically designates other varieties of maple not classified as hard maple. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on identifying the specific species of maple and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for "Hard maple" as defined in the preceding sibling category. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the botanical identity of the maple lumber to ensure correct classification under this residual "Other" designation.
