Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
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.
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.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include species identification and grade stamps from certified mills; ensure ISPM-15 compliant heat treatment documentation; calculate duties based on assembled weight including adhesives
