4409.10.90 - Other

This HTS category, HTS Code 4409.10.90, encompasses "Other" coniferous wood that has been continuously shaped along its edges, ends, or faces. This shaping can include processes such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding, and the wood may be further planed, sanded, or end-jointed. The critical characteristic is that the shaping is continuous along one or more of the wood's dimensions, creating a specific profile.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While HTS Code 4409.10.10 specifically covers wood siding, and 4409.10.20.00 is dedicated to wood flooring, this category is for other continuously shaped coniferous wood products not falling into those specific end-use classifications. It also differs from specific sub-items like wood moldings or dowel rods, which are separately detailed categories at this level, by encompassing a broader range of shaped coniferous lumber.

The subcategories under 4409.10.90 further refine classification based on the specific type of coniferous wood. HTS Code 4409.10.90.20 is designated for Western Red Cedar, a specific species often used for its durability and aesthetic qualities. The subcategory HTS Code 4409.10.90.40, "Other," is for all other types of coniferous wood that have undergone continuous shaping but are not Western Red Cedar. This division allows for more precise tariff application based on the botanical origin and associated properties of the wood.
