Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS classification, 4409.22, specifically addresses wood that has been continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces. This includes shaping operations such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding. The wood may be further processed by planing, sanding, or end-jointing, but its defining characteristic is the continuous shaping along its dimensions.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 4409.21, which exclusively covers wood of bamboo. HTS 4409.22, conversely, focuses on nonconiferous wood that is not bamboo. Furthermore, it differs from the "Other" category at the same level (4409.29), which would encompass nonconiferous, non-bamboo wood that does not meet the criteria for continuous shaping along its edges, ends, or faces.

Within 4409.22, there are further subdivisions. The primary subcategory, 4409.22.05, specifically classifies wood that is continuously shaped along any of its ends, regardless of whether it is also continuously shaped along its edges or faces. The existence of these subcategories allows for a more granular classification based on the specific geometry and processing of the wood articles.
