Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 440794 when importing or exporting cherry wood that has been sawn or sliced, with a thickness greater than 6mm. For example, if you're shipping cherry wood boards for furniture making, this code applies.
This code specifically covers cherry wood (Prunus spp.) that has been processed lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. It differs from HS-6 440793, which pertains to other types of wood, such as beech or oak, under similar processing conditions.
When classifying wood products, note that HS-6 440794 is for thicker pieces, while products under HS-6 440795 involve thinner wood materials. The thickness is a key factor in determining the correct classification.
Cherry wood is commonly used in high-end furniture, cabinetry, and decorative items. If you're dealing with cherry wood that is planed or sanded, this code remains applicable as long as the thickness exceeds 6mm.
