Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6mm
In plain English
This category covers wood that has been cut, sliced, or peeled lengthwise and is thicker than six millimeters, regardless of whether it has been planed, sanded, or joined. The items are sorted by tree type, with specific sections for conifers like pine, fir, and spruce, as well as various tropical woods such as mahogany, teak, and meranti. Other subcategories identify common hardwoods including oak, beech, maple, cherry, ash, birch, poplar, and aspen. Any wood fitting the thickness and processing description that does not match the listed species falls into the final general category.
