4409.29 - Other:

This HTS category, 4409.29, encompasses nonconiferous wood that has been continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces. This shaping process, which can include operations such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding, is applied to wood that is not part of an assembled parquet floor. The wood may also be further processed by planing, sanding, or end-jointing.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by the material and specific shaping. HTS 4409.21 specifically covers wood of bamboo, while 4409.22 is reserved for nonconiferous tropical wood. Therefore, 4409.29 applies to all other nonconiferous woods that meet the continuously shaped criteria but are neither bamboo nor tropical wood.

The subcategories under 4409.29 further refine the classification based on the specific surfaces that have undergone continuous shaping. HTS 4409.29.06 covers wood continuously shaped along any of its ends, with or without concurrent shaping along its edges or faces. The remaining "Other" subcategory (implicitly falling under the broader 4409.29) would encompass products shaped along edges and/or faces, but not necessarily ends, to ensure all continuously shaped nonconiferous woods, excluding bamboo and tropical wood, are appropriately classified.
