4409.22.50.20 - Durian (Durio spp.)

This HTS category specifically covers Durian (Durio spp.) wood that has been continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces. This shaping can include processes such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding. The wood may also be planed, sanded, or end-jointed. The "Of tropical wood" designation within this level confirms the origin of the timber, ensuring it is sourced from tropical regions.

Within the "Wood moldings: Other" category, this subcategory is distinguished by its specific inclusion of Durian wood. Its siblings, Jelutong (Dyera spp.) and Obeche (Triplochiton spp.), are classified under separate HTS codes because they represent distinct species of tropical wood. While all fall under the broader umbrella of shaped tropical wood moldings, the precise botanical origin dictates their individual classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends with the identification of Durian wood as a specific type of shaped tropical wood molding, distinguishing it from other tropical wood species or other forms of shaped wood. Classification here relies on the precise identification of the wood species as Durian and confirmation of its continuous shaping.
