4412.33.26.30 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 4412.33.26.30, specifically designates plywood and similar laminated wood panels where each ply is no thicker than 6 mm, and the product is comprised solely of sheets of wood other than bamboo. Crucially, it requires at least one outer ply to be of certain nonconiferous wood species, including alder, ash, beech, birch, cherry, chestnut, elm, eucalyptus, hickory, horse chestnut, lime, maple, oak, plane tree, poplar and aspen, robinia, tulipwood, or walnut. The distinguishing characteristic of this subcategory is that the face ply must be of walnut (Juglans spp.).

This category is distinct from its sibling, 4412.33.26.25 "Wood flooring." While both fall under similar structural plywood definitions, this particular classification is for the raw material or unfinished panels, not for pre-assembled flooring products designed for installation. The "Other" in the description at the 4412.33.26 level, followed by the specific face ply of walnut here, differentiates it from other plywoods that might have different face ply woods or different surface treatments.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions within 4412.33.26.30. Therefore, classification into this category relies on meeting all the preceding criteria, including the specific wood species for the outer ply and the face ply being walnut, with no obscuring surface coverings. Examples would include raw plywood sheets with a visible, unadorned walnut face veneer, intended for further processing into furniture, cabinetry, or other finished wood products.
