Overview
This HTS classification covers sheets of wood specifically prepared for use in the manufacture of plywood, laminated wood, or similar wood products. It includes veneers and other wood sheets that have been sawn lengthwise, sliced, or peeled. Crucially, these wood sheets can be up to 6 mm thick and may undergo further processing such as planing, sanding, splicing, or end-jointing. The "Other" designation at this level signifies wood types not specifically enumerated within the preceding categories.
The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in its allowance for wood sheets that have been spliced or end-jointed. This process involves joining smaller pieces of wood together to create larger sheets. This distinguishes it from categories that would cover only single, unspliced pieces of wood. For instance, the sibling category "Red" likely refers to wood sheets of a specific species or color that are not spliced or end-jointed.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, practical classification relies on confirming that the wood sheets meet the thickness requirement (not exceeding 6 mm), have been processed as described (sawn, sliced, or peeled), and possess the characteristic of being spliced or end-jointed. The specific wood species being processed should also be considered to ensure it falls under the "Other" wood types not specifically listed at this level.
