Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4407.13.00Lower: 35% vs 38.2%

If imported as rough sawn before engineering

Unprocessed coniferous wood in beam dimensions classifies as sawn timber under Chapter 44 heading 4407, changing once engineered into I-beam form.

4418.40.00Same rate: 38.2%

If for beam-shaped cellular wood panels

I-beams with foam or honeycomb cellular cores classify under cellular wood panels rather than solid engineered timber products.

4412Lower: 10% vs 38.2%

If blockboard construction instead of I-beam

Wood beams made from assembled strips forming blockboard structure fall under heading 4412 laminated wood, distinct from engineered I-beam configuration.
