4412.34.32.25 - Wood flooring 🖩

This HTS subheading (4412.34.32.25) specifically classifies plywood and similar laminated wood products that are not surface-covered, or are covered with a material that is clear or transparent and does not obscure the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply. This includes products where the outermost layer of wood is visible and its natural characteristics are maintained. The emphasis is on the absence of opaque surface treatments that would alter or hide the appearance of the face ply.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other:," which likely refers to a broader "Other" designation within its parent level, requires careful attention to the surface treatment. While both may fall under "Other" at higher levels, this specific subheading is for products where the face ply's visual characteristics are preserved. This means products with painted, stained (unless transparent), or otherwise obscured face plies would not be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the physical characteristics of the surface treatment. Examples of products fitting this description would include unfinished plywood panels, or panels finished with a clear lacquer or varnish that allows the natural wood grain to be fully appreciated. If any opaque coating or material is applied to the face ply, classification under a different, more appropriate subheading would be necessary.
