4412.33.32.65 - Panels not exceeding in any dimension 3.6 mm in thickness, 1.2 m in width and 2.2 m in length

This HTS category, 4412.33.32.65, specifically classifies plywood and similar laminated wood panels that meet precise dimensional limitations. The covered goods are those where no single dimension exceeds 3.6 millimeters in thickness, 1.2 meters in width, or 2.2 meters in length. Crucially, these panels are not surface-covered, or are covered with a clear or transparent material that allows the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply to be visible. The wood species forming at least one outer ply are restricted to a specific list of nonconiferous hardwoods as detailed in the parent category.

This classification is distinguished from other "Other" subcategories at the same level by its stringent adherence to the stated physical dimensions. While other "Other" categories might differ in surface treatment, the presence of specific wood veneers, or adherence to different dimensional constraints, this specific code zeroes in on panels meeting the precise maximums for thickness, width, and length, while also satisfying the surface treatment and wood species requirements.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification within 4412.33.32.65 is on meticulously verifying that the physical dimensions of the laminated wood panels precisely align with the stated limits and that the material composition and surface treatment also conform to the governing parent categories. This level of specificity ensures accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
