4412.33.06.20 - Panels not exceeding in any dimension 3.6 mm in thickness, 1.2 m in width and 2.2 m in length

This HTS classification covers panels of laminated wood, specifically plywood, that are constructed from multiple plies of wood. The defining characteristics are that each individual ply does not exceed 6 mm in thickness. Crucially, at least one of the outer plies must be of a nonconiferous wood species listed, which includes common hardwoods such as birch, oak, maple, and walnut. This category further refines its scope by excluding panels that are surface covered with opaque materials.

The distinction of this subcategory lies in its face ply material. It specifically identifies plywood where the primary visible outer ply is derived from birch (Betula spp.). This differentiates it from other potential subcategories within the broader "Other, with at least one outer ply of nonconiferous wood" grouping that might have outer plies of oak, maple, or other qualifying hardwoods, provided they are not birch.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, signifying that any product meeting all the preceding criteria, including having a face ply of birch and conforming to the specified dimensions (not exceeding 3.6 mm in thickness, 1.2 m in width, and 2.2 m in length), will be classified under 4412.33.06.20. This level of specificity ensures precise tariff application for these particular birch-faced plywood panels.
