Products classified under HTS 4403.25.01.12
Western Red Cedar Utility Poles
Roughly squared coniferous wood poles from Western red cedar, with smallest cross-sectional dimension exceeding 15 cm, specifically processed for telephone and electrical power transmission lines. These poles meet HTS 4403.25.0112 criteria as they are in the rough state, not further machined, and destined for utility infrastructure support. Their durability and natural resistance to decay make them ideal for outdoor power distribution.
Douglas Fir Electrical Transmission Poles
Coniferous Douglas fir poles in the rough, stripped of bark, with cross-sections over 15 cm, designed for high-voltage electrical power lines and telegraph supports. Classified under HTS 4403.25.0112 due to their unprocessed state and specific utility pole dimensions. These poles provide structural strength for overhead power distribution networks.
Southern Yellow Pine Telegraph Poles
Rough Southern yellow pine coniferous poles, roughly squared with minimum 15 cm cross-section, intended for telegraph and telephone line installations. Fits HTS 4403.25.0112 as untreated rough wood for utility purposes. Known for cost-effectiveness in rural communication infrastructure.
Lodgepole Pine Power Distribution Poles
Lodgepole pine rough-hewn poles exceeding 15 cm cross-section, for electrical power distribution and telephone support structures. HTS 4403.25.0112 applies to these coniferous utility poles in untreated rough form. Suitable for medium-duty overhead lines in forested regions.
Ponderosa Pine Utility Transmission Poles
Rough Ponderosa pine coniferous poles, sapwood removed, minimum 15 cm dimension, classified for telephone, telegraph, and power pole applications under HTS 4403.25.0112. These provide reliable support for long-span transmission lines.
