Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified as a residual 'not elsewhere specified' heading, this category captures a wide range of commercially important hardwoods including walnut (4407990261), hickory and pecan (4407990242), western red alder (4407990263), and all remaining nonconiferous species (4407990295). Walnut in particular is a high-value cabinet and gunstock wood with strong export and import demand. Uruguay leads US imports under this heading — a reflection of its substantial plantation eucalyptus and other hardwood sawmill industry — followed by Canada and Brazil.

Walnut (Juglans spp.) sawn over 6 mm thick is specifically provided for at 4407990261. Importers should verify that the product is not a veneer sheet (≤6 mm, which falls under HTS 4408) and that it is not further manufactured into flooring or other articles, which would move it to a different chapter entirely. Species documentation from the mill is essential for both classification and Lacey Act compliance.
The Lacey Act requires an import declaration (PPQ Form 505) for all plant products, including sawn lumber, specifying genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity. For material from Uruguay and Brazil — where plantation and native forest species may be mixed in trade — importers should obtain chain-of-custody documentation from suppliers to confirm legal harvest origin, as enforcement scrutiny on South American hardwoods has increased.
