Overview
This HTS classification, 4409.29.26.50, specifically covers continuously shaped lumber of birch (Betula spp.) and beech (Fagus spp.). These woods, processed to have profiled edges or faces such as tongued, grooved, or molded finishes, are intended for flooring applications. The material must be nonconiferous and fall under the broader category of "other" woods not elsewhere specified within the nonconiferous grouping.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4409.29.26.30 pertains exclusively to maple (Acer spp.) lumber with similar shaping and flooring applications. Therefore, the primary differentiator is the botanical species of wood. All other types of nonconiferous woods that are continuously shaped and intended for flooring, and are not birch, beech, or maple, would be classified under the sibling category 4409.29.26.60, "Other."
As 4409.29.26.50 is a leaf node in the HTS classification, it does not have further subcategories. This means that once goods meet the criteria of being continuously shaped, nonconiferous, intended for flooring, and made of either birch or beech species, they are definitively classified under this specific code. Classification relies on the species identification of the wood and the continuous shaping applied to its edges or faces.
