Overview
This HTS category, 4409.22.90.60, specifically classifies continuously shaped wood of tropical species that are neither Cumaru, Ipé, nor Keruing. The primary focus is on wood from the *Padauk* or *Narra* (both *Pterocarpus* species) that has undergone shaping processes such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding along any of its edges, ends, or faces. This category applies regardless of whether the wood has been further planed or sanded.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4409.22.90.20 (Cumaru), 4409.22.90.30 (Ipé), and 4409.22.90.45 (Keruing), relies on the specific botanical identification of the tropical wood species. While all fall under "Other" nonconiferous tropical wood that is continuously shaped, this code is reserved for species not explicitly listed in the preceding sibling categories. The sibling category 4409.22.90.90 serves as a residual for other tropical woods that do not fit the specific descriptions of Cumaru, Ipé, Keruing, Padauk, or Narra.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 4409.22.90.60. Therefore, classification within this code is definitive once the material is identified as shaped Padauk or Narra of tropical origin and does not fall under any other specific tropical wood designation at the same level.
