4408.90.01.05 - Ash (Fraxinus spp.) 🖩

This HTS category, 4408.90.01.05, specifically covers sheets of wood, not exceeding 6 mm in thickness, that are intended for veneering, plywood, or similar laminated wood products. These sheets are prepared by sawing, slicing, or peeling wood and may have undergone further processing such as planing, sanding, splicing, or end-jointing. This particular subheading is designated for Ash wood (Fraxinus spp.).

The distinction of this category from its siblings lies in the specific species of wood. While other subcategories at this level identify sheets of Birch, Cherry, Maple, Oak, and Walnut, 4408.90.01.05 is exclusively for Ash. Therefore, when classifying spliced or end-jointed wood sheets within the 4408.90.01 range, the importer must identify the precise wood species to ensure correct tariff placement.

As this subheading is a leaf node within the HTS database, it does not have further subcategories. Classification into this category is final for Ash wood sheets meeting the described characteristics and processing methods. The primary classification criteria are the material (Ash wood), the form (sheets not exceeding 6 mm thickness), the preparation method (sawn, sliced, peeled, and potentially further processed), and the intended use (veneering, plywood, etc.).
