4412.39.30.00 - With a face ply of European red pine (Pinus silvestris) 🖩

This HTS classification covers specific types of plywood, namely those with an outer ply (face ply) composed of European red pine (Pinus silvestris). These panels are part of a broader category of plywood and similar laminated wood products where each individual ply does not exceed 6 millimeters in thickness. This particular code distinguishes plywood based on the species of coniferous wood used for its face ply, a crucial factor in determining import duties and trade regulations.

The key differentiator for this category lies in the exclusive use of European red pine for the face ply. It is distinct from its sibling category, 4412.39.10.00, which specifically classifies plywood featuring Parana pine (Araucaria angustifolia) as the face ply. Both these categories fall under the broader classification of "Other, with both outer plies of coniferous wood" and "Not surface covered, or surface covered with a clear or transparent material which does not obscure the grain, texture or markings of the face ply," indicating that the surface treatment of the wood is also a critical characteristic.

As this classification represents a "leaf node" within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, focusing on the specific material of the face ply. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the species of wood used for the face ply to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs requirements for goods falling under HTS code 4412.39.30.00.
