4407.91.00

Analysis

HTS 4407.91.00 covers of oak (Quercus 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 2 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.

For statistics it divides in two: 4407.91.00.22 for red oak and 4407.91.00.63 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 321113 (Sawmills), an industry of 2,691 US establishments employing 79,871 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
