Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from Juglans regia (English walnut)
Different walnut species like English walnut are classified separately from black walnut under the same rough wood heading.
If sawn lengthwise and thickness exceeding 6mm
Once sawn and planed to specified thickness, it moves from rough wood (4403) to coniferous/non-coniferous lumber (4407).
If in the form of fuel wood
Rough wood primarily for fuel use falls under wood fuel heading rather than species-specific rough lumber.
