The applicable subheading for the finger boards and bridges will be 4407.99.0091, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm; other nonconiferous, rough.
