Planed Elm Lumber from Japan
Planed elm lumber consists of rock elm boards sawn to a thickness exceeding 6 mm, planed for use in wagon wheels, barrels, and flooring. This product falls under tariff item 4407.99.00 as 'other' non-coniferous wood, sawn or chipped lengthwise, planed or sanded. Elm's interlocked grain resists splitting, making it suitable for these applications.
