Oak End-Matched Stair Treads from Canada
These oak stair treads are continuously shaped along their ends with precise end-matching profiles for seamless installation, and may also feature edge shaping like tonguing and grooving. They are planed and sanded for smooth finish but remain nonconiferous hardwood profile lumber under HTS 4409.29.06. This classification applies to wood shaped along ends or edges, not further worked into finished articles.

Import Tips
• Verify species certification as nonconiferous (e.g
• oak) to avoid coniferous reclassification under 4409.21
• Provide detailed profile drawings showing end-shaping to confirm continuous shaping along ends
• Ensure no assembly or end-jointing beyond finger-jointing to prevent classification as finished woodwork in 4418
