This HTS classification covers plywood where at least one of the outer layers is composed of specific tropical hardwoods. These woods, identified by their botanical names, include Dark Red Meranti, Light Red Meranti, White Lauan, Sipo, Limba, Okoumé, Obeche, Acajou d'Afrique, Sapelli, Virola, Mahogany, Palissandre de Para, Palissandre de Rio, and Palissandre de Rose. The plywood itself must consist solely of wood sheets, with each ply not exceeding 6 millimeters in thickness. This category is distinct from other plywood classifications that may use non-tropical woods or have different ply thickness limitations.

Since this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is determined by the presence of the specified tropical wood as an outer ply. For practical classification, importers and exporters should verify the exact species of the tropical wood used in the construction of the plywood and confirm that it is listed within the provided description. This level of detail ensures accurate tariff application and compliance with trade regulations.
