Overview
HTS code 4409.29.11.00 specifically classifies "wood siding" that has been continuously shaped along its edges or faces. This shaping can include processes such as tongue and groove, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding, and the wood may be planed, sanded, or end-jointed. This category pertains to wood that is intended for exterior or interior wall cladding, providing both aesthetic and protective functions.
This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its intended application. While 4409.29.26 covers wood flooring, and other sibling categories might include wood moldings or dowel rods, 4409.29.11.00 is exclusively for shaped wood designed for use as siding. The key differentiator lies in the product's ultimate function and form factor as a covering for vertical surfaces.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4409.29.11.00 hinges on confirming that the shaped wood meets the definition of siding and is not intended for flooring, molding, or other distinct uses. The continuous shaping is a critical characteristic, differentiating it from rougher lumber or less processed wood articles.
