4409.22.90.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 4409.22.90.90, covers "Other" nonconiferous wood continuously shaped from tropical wood, which does not fall under the more specifically enumerated sibling categories. This implies that it includes shaped wood products of tropical species that are not explicitly listed, such as Cumaru, Ipé, Keruing, or Padauk. The key defining characteristic remains that the wood has been continuously shaped along its edges, ends, or faces, whether by tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, rounding, or similar processes, and may also be planed, sanded, or end-jointed.

To properly classify under this "Other" category, one must first confirm that the wood is indeed of tropical origin and is nonconiferous. If the specific tropical wood species is not itemized under sibling codes such as 4409.22.90.20 (Cumaru), 4409.22.90.30 (Ipé), 4409.22.90.45 (Keruing), or 4409.22.90.60 (Padauk/Narra), then it would be classified here, provided it meets the general description of continuously shaped wood. The absence of further subdivisions at this level indicates that this category serves as a residual classification for all other eligible tropical wood products that have undergone continuous shaping.
