4412.34.32.35 - With a face ply of sen (Kalopanax spp.)

This HTS classification, 4412.34.32.35, specifically designates plywood products where the outermost layer (face ply) is composed of Sen wood, scientifically known as Kalopanax species. These are composite wood panels constructed from multiple layers of wood, with each ply not exceeding 6 millimeters in thickness. The governing criteria at this level dictate that the product is neither surface-covered with opaque materials nor with materials that obscure the wood grain, texture, or markings of the Sen wood face ply.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4412.34.32.55, by the specific species of wood used for the face ply. While 4412.34.32.55 pertains to plywood with a mahogany face ply (Swietenia spp. or Khaya spp.), this subheading is exclusively for plywood featuring Sen wood as the visible outer layer. The differentiation hinges solely on the botanical origin of the face ply, with all other structural and finishing characteristics remaining consistent with the parent categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends with the specific identification of the Sen wood face ply. This means that any plywood meeting the criteria of consisting solely of wood sheets (excluding bamboo), with each ply not exceeding 6 mm in thickness, having at least one outer ply of nonconiferous wood not specified elsewhere, not being surface covered in a way that obscures the grain, and featuring Sen wood as its face ply, will be classified under this subheading.
