4412.31.52.75 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 4412.31.52.75, pertains to "Other" plywood and similar laminated wood products that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the broader classification of "Other plywood consisting solely of sheets of wood (other than bamboo), each ply not exceeding 6 mm in thickness, with at least one outer ply of tropical wood, not surface covered, or surface covered with a clear or transparent material which does not obscure the grain, texture or markings of the face ply." Essentially, this "Other" category acts as a residual for laminated wood products meeting the preceding criteria but lacking the specific surface treatments or structural characteristics that would place them in a more narrowly defined subcategory.

The distinction from its sibling category, "Not surface covered:", lies in the nuanced interpretation of surface treatment. While this node also covers products that are not inherently surface covered, it further encompasses those where the covering material, if present, is clear or transparent and specifically does not obscure the visual attributes of the face ply. This allows for a degree of protective or aesthetic enhancement without altering the fundamental appearance of the wood grain, texture, or markings.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this specific code is determined by the fulfillment of all preceding descriptive criteria, ensuring that the product is indeed plywood or similar laminated wood, with plies not exceeding 6 mm, an outer tropical wood ply, and a surface treatment that either absent or transparent and non-obscuring. The "Other" designation signifies that it represents the final residual classification for items meeting these broad, yet specific, structural and material requirements.
