Jatoba End-Matched Wood Flooring Strips from Germany

These are jatoba (Hymenaea spp.), also known as Brazilian cherry, wood strips continuously shaped along their ends for end-matching, ideal for parquet or plank flooring installation. They may also be shaped along edges or faces, planed, sanded, or end-jointed but remain unassembled. Classified under HTS 4409.22.0515 due to their tropical hardwood origin and specific end-shaping for flooring.

Import Tips

Verify species certification as Hymenaea spp. (jatoba) with CITES documentation if required for tropical hardwoods to avoid reclassification

Ensure end-matching profiles meet 'continuously shaped along ends' criteria; measure dimensions to confirm unassembled status under 4409

Provide mill certificates showing no assembly or glue joints to prevent misclassification as finished flooring under 4418
