4408.90.01.15 - Cherry (Prunus spp.)

This HTS category, 4408.90.01.15, specifically classifies sheets of wood for veneering, plywood, or similar laminated wood products, as well as other wood sawn lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. These sheets are characterized by a thickness not exceeding 6 mm and may undergo further processing such as planing, sanding, splicing, or end-jointing. The defining feature of this particular subclassification is that the wood material is Cherry (Prunus spp.).

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific species of wood. For instance, while 4408.90.01.05 covers Ash, and 4408.90.01.10 covers Birch, this subcategory exclusively pertains to Cherry wood, regardless of whether it is spliced or end-jointed. The "Other" designation at the 4408.90.01 level indicates that the wood type is not specifically listed in earlier subcategories, with this entry providing a precise classification for Cherry.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes with the specific identification of Cherry wood within the broader group of spliced or end-jointed sheets for veneering and similar purposes. Importers should ensure the wood is indeed of the Cherry species and meets the thickness and processing criteria outlined in the parent categories to correctly apply this classification.
