4412 - Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood:

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

Heading 4412 encompasses a diverse range of engineered wood products, specifically plywood, veneered panels, and other similar laminated wood constructions. These items are characterized by the assembly of multiple layers or sheets of wood, typically bonded together with adhesives. The key defining feature is the lamination process, which creates panels with enhanced strength, stability, and dimensional properties compared to solid wood. This category excludes solid wood products and articles manufactured from wood pulp or paper.

Within the broader Section IX and Chapter 44, which deal with wood and articles of wood, heading 4412 distinguishes itself by focusing on composite wood structures rather than solid timber or basic wood preparations. While other headings within Chapter 44 might cover sawn wood, wood shavings, or wood-based panels like particleboard or fiberboard, 4412 is specifically for products where distinct plies or sheets of wood are layered and bonded to form a single panel.

The subcategories under 4412 provide for the detailed classification of these laminated wood products. "Of bamboo" specifically addresses plywood and similar laminated products constructed using bamboo sheets. The subsequent categories then further subdivide "Other plywood" based on the thickness of individual plies, allowing for distinctions between plywood with thinner plies (not exceeding 6 mm) and those with thicker plies. Additionally, specific types of laminated products like Laminated Veneered Lumber (LVL), Blockboard, Laminboard, and Battenboard are provided for, recognizing their unique construction methods and applications. Finally, an "Other" category accommodates laminated wood products not otherwise specified.
