Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as unassembled components
Separate glulam flanges and plywood webs classified as plywood or laminated wood under heading 4412 when not yet joined into a complete I-beam.
If contains metal joinery fittings
Structural wood products with significant metal connectors or reinforcements fall under other builders' joinery rather than pure timber I-beams.
If for non-structural decorative use
Wood I-beam shapes used in architectural millwork or interior design rather than load-bearing applications classified as other wood articles.
