4412.33.57.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4412.33.57.00, specifically covers "Other" plywood and similar laminated wood products that meet the criteria of the preceding headings. These are multi-ply wood panels where each individual ply does not exceed 6 mm in thickness. Crucially, these panels must feature at least one outer ply made from specific 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 "Other" designation indicates it encompasses products not specifically defined by further surface treatments or finishes mentioned in sibling categories.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories primarily by the absence of specific surface treatments. For instance, a sibling category might cover plywood with a clear or transparent surface material that does not obscure the grain of the face ply. In contrast, 4412.33.57.00 is for plywood meeting the wood species and ply thickness requirements that are *not* covered by such specific surface treatment descriptions.

As a leaf node, this category has no subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise fulfillment of the conditions outlined in its parent and the current heading: the material being plywood or a similar laminated wood panel, the thickness of each ply not exceeding 6 mm, and the presence of at least one outer ply from the enumerated list of nonconiferous wood species. The "Other" designation suggests this is the residual category for eligible laminated wood panels not otherwise specified.
