Analysis
HTS 4404.20.00 covers hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets and stakes of wood, pointed but not sawn lengthwise; wooden sticks, roughly trimmed but not turned, bent or otherwise… under heading 4404 (hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets and stakes of wood, pointed but not sawn…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other line in the same group is 4404.10.00 (hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets and stakes of wood…, duty-free).
