Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sourced from mixed Western hemlock and fir stands
Mixed Hem-Fir stands where species proportions vary fall under 4407.14 per subheading note, not pure hemlock.
If cross-sectional dimension is less than 15 cm
Smaller dimension hemlock logs classify under the subheading for <15 cm cross-section.
If the wood is Pinus species like Ponderosa pine
Different coniferous species like pine shift to their specific subheadings within 4403.12.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests like hemlock woolly adelgid, required for all coniferous logs
• Verify cross-sectional measurements exceed 15 cm to avoid reclassification to smaller dimension subheadings
• Include species documentation as 'other hemlock' to distinguish from Hem-Fir mixes under 4407.14
