4421.99.70 - Pickets, palings, posts and rails, the foregoing which are sawn; assembled fence sections

This HTS category, 4421.99.70, specifically covers unfinished or semi-finished wooden components primarily intended for fencing. This includes individual pickets, palings, and posts that have been sawn to shape, as well as wooden rails for fences. The key characteristic is their preparation for assembly into a fence structure, differentiating them from finished or decorative wooden articles.

While siblings at this level might encompass other diverse wooden wares like dowel pins or skewers, this classification is distinct due to the specific function and form of the articles. Pickets, palings, posts, and rails are readily identifiable as elements of a fence.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. "Assembled fence sections" (4421.99.70.20) are pre-fabricated panels or units of fencing, whereas "Other" (4421.99.70.40) would capture individual components like posts and rails that have not yet been joined into a larger section. This distinction allows for more granular tracking and tariff application based on the degree of assembly.
