4412.31.52.64 - Mersawa (Anisoptera spp.)

This HTS classification, specifically 4412.31.52.64, pertains to plywood and similar laminated wood products where each individual ply does not exceed 6 millimeters in thickness. This particular subcategory encompasses plywood that is not surface covered, or is covered with a transparent material that does not conceal the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply. The defining characteristic for this entry is the inclusion of Mersawa (Anisoptera spp.) as one of the constituent wood species.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings hinges on the specific species of tropical wood used for the outer ply. While other siblings at this level classify products made with Albizia, Bintangor, Parica, or Pencil cedar/Nyatoh, this subcategory is exclusively for Mersawa. The absence of surface covering, or the presence of a clear, non-obscuring transparent covering, is a shared criterion for this set of sibling categories, differentiating them from other potential surface treatments not covered under these specific codes.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 4412.31.52.64 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes at this level is to accurately identify the presence of Mersawa wood as the defining characteristic for this specific plywood product, ensuring it meets the overarching criteria of being a laminated wood product with thin plies and no obscuring surface treatment.
