4409.22.50 - Other

This classification pertains to "Other" wood moldings that are nonconiferous and specifically derived from tropical wood. These are continuously shaped timbers, which may be planed, sanded, or end-jointed, along their edges, ends, or faces. The "Other" designation indicates that this category encompasses tropical wood moldings not specifically listed under other subheadings within the "Wood moldings" group.

This HTS code distinguishes itself from the sibling category 4409.22.40.00, "Standard wood moldings," by focusing on tropical woods and excluding any moldings that might be considered "standard" without further specification as to their tropical origin. Essentially, where 4409.22.40.00 is a broader category for nonconiferous, continuously shaped wood moldings, 4409.22.50 specifically targets those made from tropical wood species and not otherwise enumerated.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to classify specific tropical wood species or types. The subcategories for Durian (Durio spp.), Jelutong (Dyera spp.), and Obeche (Triplochiton spp.) allow for more precise identification based on the botanical origin of the wood. The residual subheading, "Other," is available for tropical wood moldings that do not fall under these specific botanical classifications, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
