4409.29.26.60 - Other

This HTS category, 4409.29.26.60, encompasses wood flooring that is continuously shaped along its edges or faces, made from nonconiferous woods, and not specifically listed under the maple, birch, or beech subcategories. The "Other" designation indicates that this classification is for a variety of nonconiferous wood flooring types that do not fall into the more precisely defined preceding categories. Examples include flooring made from oak, cherry, walnut, or exotic hardwoods, provided they meet the criteria of being continuously shaped (e.g., tongued, grooved, or beaded).

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4409.29.26.30 (Maple) and 4409.29.26.50 (Birch and Beech), is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under the umbrella of continuously shaped nonconiferous wood flooring, this sub-level differentiates based on specific wood species. Therefore, flooring made from species other than maple, birch, or beech, but still conforming to the shaping and material requirements, would be classified here.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification concludes at this level, meaning that once a wood flooring product is identified as nonconiferous, continuously shaped, and not falling under the specific species listed in its sibling categories, it is definitively classified under 4409.29.26.60. This ensures that all remaining varieties of such wood flooring are appropriately accounted for within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
