Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If S-P-F mixed species lumber
Mixed spruce-pine-fir sawn products use 4407.13, but pure hemlock stays separate unless mixed.
If identified as spruce rather than hemlock
Spruce is a distinct coniferous species under separate subheading 4403.25 within rough wood.
If roughly worked beyond squaring, like beveled edges
Any machining or working beyond rough squared state moves to heading 4418 for worked wood.
