Analysis
HTS 4407.12.00 covers of fir (Abies spp.) and spruce (Picea spp.) under heading 4407 (wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 8 ten-digit suffixes, reported in m3.
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.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The ten-digit suffixes separate finger-jointed, treated with paint, stain, creosote or…, rough, rough and rough. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
