Overview
This HTS category, 4408.39.02.30, specifically covers sheets of tropical wood, not exceeding 6 mm in thickness, intended for veneering, plywood, or similar laminated wood products. These sheets are derived from Anigre (Aningeria spp.), which is also recognized by its alternative names such as Aningre, Aniegre, or Anegre. The processing of these sheets can include sawing lengthwise, slicing, or peeling, and they may be further treated by planing, sanding, splicing, or end-jointing.
This classification is distinguished from its siblings by the specific wood species it identifies. For instance, sibling categories cover other tropical woods like Acajou or Acajou d'Afrique (African mahogany), Ceiba, Obeche, Okoume, and Sapele, Sipo, or Utile. Therefore, the correct classification under 4408.39.02.30 hinges on the positive identification of the wood as Anigre species.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for sheets of Anigre wood meeting the specified thickness and processing criteria within the broader context of tropical wood veneers and similar wood products.
