4409.22.10.00 - Wood siding

This HTS category, 4409.22.10.00, specifically classifies "Wood siding" made from nonconiferous tropical woods. Siding refers to materials designed for the exterior covering of buildings, intended to protect the underlying structure from the elements and to provide aesthetic appeal. These products are characterized by being continuously shaped along their edges or faces, such as through tongue-and-groove, rebating, or chamfering, and may be planed, sanded, or end-jointed.

It is important to distinguish this classification from its siblings. While this category is for wood siding, sibling categories like 4409.22.25.00 cover finished wood flooring intended for interior use. Other related sibling entries might include wood moldings and dowel rods, which serve different construction or manufacturing purposes and possess distinct profiles and intended applications compared to exterior building siding.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 4409.22.10.00 is determined by the specific physical characteristics of the wood product as being identifiable as exterior siding, its composition of nonconiferous tropical wood, and its continuously shaped nature as described in the heading.
