This heading covers all timber articles made by turning or otherwise worked, or wood mosaic or inlaid, other than articles named or included in the preceding headings, and other than articles named elsewhere, regardless of the material of which they are made (see, for example, note 1 to this chapter).

It also covers wooden parts of articles named or included in the preceding headings, other than articles of heading 4416. The articles of this heading may be made of ordinary wood or of particle board or similar board, fibreboard, laminated wood or densified wood (see Note 3 to this Chapter). The heading covers: (1) Spools, cops, bobbins, sewing thread reels, etc. These articles usually have a core (or tube) of turned wood on which thread or fine wire is wound; the core may be cylindrical or conical, usually with an internal channel, and may have a flange at one or both ends. The heading also covers bobbins consisting of a central core of turned wood with added ends of wood or other material; these bobbins are used, for example, for insulated electric wire. (2) Cages for rabbits and poultry, beehives, pens, kennels, feeding troughs; collars for livestock. (3) Theatrical scenery; carpenters' workbenches; tables with screws for supporting cross-bars, used for hand-sewing of books; stepladders and ladders; trestles; letters, road signs, signposts; sign-boards; garden labels, etc.; toothpicks; trellis panels and fencing; level-crossing barriers; roller blinds, awnings and other types of blinds; spigots for casks; templates; rollers for spring blinds; clothes hangers; washboards; ironing boards; clothes hooks; locating pins; oars, paddles, rudder blades; coffins. (4) Wooden paving blocks, usually of uniform size and with rectangular sides. They are produced on gang saws. Sometimes separating strips may be nailed to the sides in order to leave room for the swelling of the blocks after laying. (5) Match splints, made by cutting veneer or, as a rule, by splitting into layers or peeling wood to the size of matches. Matches can also be made in large quantities from wooden blocks. They may be impregnated with chemical substances (for example, ammonium phosphates), but if the matches already have igniting heads, they are not classified in this Chapter. The heading also covers wooden strips with teeth or slots on one of the edges, for making book matches. (6) Wooden pegs or dowels, or pins, for footwear, which are made in the same way as match splints but are pointed at one end and may be of round, square or triangular section. They are sometimes used instead of nails for fixing the soles and heels of boots and shoes. (7) Measuring containers, other than those constituting kitchenware of heading 4419. (8) Wooden handles for table knives, spoons and forks. (9) Panels consisting of strips obtained from roughly sawn wood, assembled with glue in order to facilitate transport or subsequent working. (10) Moulded wooden articles made by overlaying some moulded shapes on other moulded or unmoulded shapes (other than articles of heading 4418). The heading does not cover:

(a) wooden strips for making match splints (heading 4404); (b) unfinished wooden shoe pegs in the form of wooden strips with one edge sharpened on both sides, suitable for cutting into shoe pegs (heading 4409); (c) wooden handles for knives (other than table knives) and other tools or implements of heading 4417; (d) articles of Chapter 46; (e) footwear and parts thereof of Chapter 64; (f) walking-sticks and parts of walking-sticks, umbrellas or whips (Chapter 66); (g) machines, parts of machines and electrical goods of Section XVI (for example, wooden foundry patterns of heading 8480); (h) goods of Section XVII (for example, boats, carts, wheelbarrows and other vehicles, wheeled articles); (ij) mathematical calculating and drawing instruments, measuring instruments (other than capacity measures) and other goods of Chapter 90; (k) gun stocks and other parts of arms (heading 9305); (l) toys, games and sports equipment (Chapter 95).

- the humidity index is determined in accordance with ISO 4470-81 (GOST 16588-91) and (or) national standards, as well as certified and other methods (methods) of measurements that meet the requirements of the legislation of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union in the field of ensuring uniformity of measurements;

the thickness is determined in millimeters at any place of the length of the timber, but not closer than 150 mm from the end;

The width is defined in millimeters:

in trimmed with parallel edges - in any place of the length of the timber, where there is no obsol, but not closer than 150 mm from the end;

in uncircumcised, unilaterally trimmed - in the middle of the length of the timber as a half-sum of the widths of both strata (excluding bark and club), and fractions up to 5 mm are not taken into account, fractions of 5 mm or more are considered for 10 mm;

in trimmed with non-parallel edges - in the middle of the length of the timber on a formation that does not contain obsol.
