Overview
This classification covers wood flooring that is specifically manufactured from plywood where each ply does not exceed 6 mm in thickness. The defining characteristic is that at least one of the outer plies is made from nonconiferous wood belonging to a specific list of species. This includes common hardwoods such as birch, oak, maple, and walnut, among others. The face ply of the plywood in this category is explicitly birch (Betula spp.).
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4412.33.06.70, which is also designated as "Other," is the specific requirement for the face ply. While the sibling category also falls under the broader umbrella of plywood with a nonconiferous outer ply, this particular classification narrows the scope further by mandating that the visible, outermost ply must be birch. This precise specification is crucial for accurate tariff application.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the presence of birch as the face ply, alongside the previously defined structural and material requirements of the plywood itself. Therefore, any wood flooring meeting all these criteria, including a birch face ply, will fall under this HTS code.
