Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the dowel pins are not fluted or sanded, merely cut to length
Rough-cut dowels without advanced working fall under wood continuously shaped along any of its edges or faces.
If the dowel pins are further processed with fire retardants or other listed treatments
This item covers other wood articles with specific treatments, but fluting alone does not qualify.
