4412.51.31.75 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4412.51.31.75, specifically covers "Other" plywood that meets the preceding classification criteria. Building upon the parent category of "Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood," and further refined by its place within "blockboard, laminboard and battenboard" with "at least one outer ply of tropical wood," this subheading isolates a very specific subset of plywood.

The distinction here lies in what constitutes "other" in contrast to its sibling category, 4412.51.31.61, which is designated for plywood "Not surface covered." Therefore, this category encompasses plywood that is *not* surface covered with a clear or transparent material that obscures the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply, but also excludes those that are entirely "not surface covered." This implies that panels classified here may have undergone some form of surface treatment, or possess characteristics that do not fit the description of being completely bare.

As this represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading requires careful examination of the surface treatment and presentation of the plywood, ensuring it is not entirely uncovered but also does not feature a clear or transparent covering that would obscure the natural appearance of the face ply. This often includes plywood with opaque coatings, or those that have been otherwise treated in a manner not specifically exempted.
