4412.31.48.63 - Limba (Terminalia spp.), also known as Terminalia and Nargusta 🖩

This HTS category, 4412.31.48.63, specifically classifies plywood and similar laminated wood products where the face ply is made of Limba (Terminalia spp.), also known by its common names of Terminalia and Nargusta. These panels are part of a broader group of plywoods with at least one outer ply of tropical wood, and they are not surface covered, or are covered with a material that doesn't obscure the grain of the face ply. The primary defining characteristic for this subcategory is the presence of Limba as a key component of the outer ply.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, note that 4412.31.48.60 covers plywood with outer plies of Dark Red Meranti, Light Red Meranti, or White Lauan (Shorea spp.), while 4412.31.48.66 is for Virola (Virola spp.). This category, 4412.31.48.63, is specifically for Limba, ensuring that panels featuring this particular tropical wood are correctly identified. The sibling category 4412.31.48.69 encompasses other tropical woods not otherwise specified within this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4412.31.48.63 is on confirming that the product meets all the preceding criteria: it is plywood or a similar laminated wood panel, not surface covered (or covered with a clear, grain-revealing material), with at least one outer ply of tropical wood, and that outer ply is indeed Limba.
