Overview
This HTS category, 4409.29.26.30, specifically classifies continuously shaped wood flooring made from Maple (Acer spp.). This includes all forms of maple wood that have undergone continuous shaping processes, such as tonguing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, or rounding, along any of its edges, ends, or faces. The wood may be further processed through planing, sanding, or end-jointing.
This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings, 4409.29.26.50 and 4409.29.26.60, by its specific species requirement. While 4409.29.26.50 covers flooring made from Birch (Betula spp.) and Beech (Fagus spp.), and 4409.29.26.60 encompasses other wood species not otherwise specified, this code is exclusively for maple. The parent category, Chapter 44, covers a broad range of wood and articles of wood, and this subdivision focuses on specific finished wood flooring products.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies on accurately identifying the wood species as maple and confirming that the wood meets the description of being continuously shaped for flooring purposes.
