4412.39.50.50 - Other 🖩

This classification pertains to plywood and similar laminated wood products that do not fit into more specific categories under HTS code 4412.39.50. It specifically covers "other" plywood where the individual plies do not exceed 6 mm in thickness, and both the outermost layers are constructed from coniferous wood. These are panels formed by bonding together sheets of wood, excluding bamboo, with the grain of adjacent layers oriented at an angle to one another.

The distinction of this category lies in its residual nature, encompassing coniferous plywood not otherwise specified. It differs from its siblings which are identified by the specific types of coniferous wood used for their outer plies. For example, 4412.39.50.10 is exclusively for plywood with Douglas fir as an outer ply, and 4412.39.50.30 designates plywood featuring certain types of pine. This category, "Other," serves as a catch-all for coniferous plywood where the specific pine or fir types mentioned in the sibling categories are not present in the outer plies.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 4412.39.50.50 signifies that the product meets all the preceding criteria for plywood with coniferous outer plies, but does not qualify for any of the more narrowly defined sibling categories based on specific wood species. Therefore, the determining factor for classification here is the absence of the specified coniferous species in the outer plies, while still fulfilling the general requirements of laminated wood with coniferous outer layers.
