HTS heading 4409 covers wood products that have been continuously shaped along an edge, end, or face. Common shaping includes tongue-and-groove, rebating, chamfering, V-jointing, beading, molding, rounding, or similar profiles. The heading can include items such as profiled boards, trim, and unassembled strips or friezes for parquet flooring. The wood may also be planed, sanded, or end-jointed, as long as it meets the heading’s shaping description.
Heading 4409 is a 4-digit category, not usually the final classification used for entry. To reach the applicable 8-digit HTSUS subheading, follow the tariff structure beneath 4409 and identify the product’s specified material or type—such as the relevant wood species grouping, whether it is bamboo or another material covered by a separate provision, or another distinguishing description. Classification depends on the product as imported, including its profile, construction, and degree of assembly; confirm the full wording and any legal notes in the current HTSUS.
What to check
- Describe the product’s physical profile and verify that it is continuously shaped, rather than merely cut, surfaced, or assembled.
- Identify the wood species or material exactly; use commercial documents and, when needed, technical or botanical information.
- Check whether the item is a board, molding, flooring strip or frieze, trim, or another specifically described product, and whether it is assembled or unassembled.
- Read every 8-digit option under heading 4409, including indentation, punctuation, unit-of-measure, and section or chapter notes before choosing.
- Keep product specifications, photos or drawings, invoices, and supplier statements that support the classification; request a customs-broker review or binding ruling when the wording is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
