Yes. Line 4407970072 specifically covers yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), which is botanically distinct from true poplars (Populus spp.) despite the common name. It is denser and more dimensionally stable than most Populus species, commanding a price premium for furniture and millwork. Importers should ensure mill documentation uses the correct botanical name to support accurate classification.
Imports of wood products from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing poplar or aspen lumber from China should confirm the current Section 301 status for the applicable HTS line with a licensed customs broker before contracting, as coverage and rates under Section 301 have been subject to ongoing review and modification.
