4412.42.00.00 - Other, with at least one outer ply of nonconiferous wood

This classification covers plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood products that are specifically identified as "other" with at least one outer ply constructed from nonconiferous wood. These are engineered wood products where layers of wood veneer are bonded together, typically with adhesives. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the composition of the outermost wood layers.

This category is distinct from its siblings by its specific material composition. It differs from 4412.41.00.00 because it does not require an outer ply of tropical wood; instead, it encompasses outer plies of nonconiferous wood generally. Furthermore, it is differentiated from 4412.49.00.00, which exclusively covers products where *both* outer plies are coniferous wood. Therefore, this classification applies when at least one outer ply is nonconiferous, but it is not limited to cases where both are coniferous, nor does it require the use of tropical wood.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Classification under 4412.42.00.00 is final, meaning that once a product meets the criteria of having at least one outer ply of nonconiferous wood and does not fall into the more specific categories for tropical wood or solely coniferous outer plies, it is classified here. Examples of such products would include certain types of laminated furniture panels or structural plywood where one face is nonconiferous, and the other may be either another nonconiferous wood or a coniferous wood, but not exclusively coniferous on both outer surfaces.
