4412.59.60.00 - With a face ply of Parana pine (Araucaria angustifolia) 🖩

This HTS category, 4412.59.60.00, specifically classifies plywood where the face ply is made from Parana pine (scientifically known as *Araucaria angustifolia*). This designation is crucial for accurate customs declaration, ensuring that the imported or exported wood product is correctly identified based on its primary surface material. The plywood under this classification will have a visible grain pattern, as the face is either uncovered or covered with a transparent material that does not conceal these natural wood characteristics.

This category is distinguished from its sibling entries by the precise species of wood forming the face ply. For instance, it differs from 4412.59.70.00, which pertains to plywood with a face ply of European red pine (*Pinus silvestris*). Furthermore, it is separate from the broader "Other" category (4412.59.80.00) which would encompass plywood with face plies of coniferous species not otherwise specified. The selection of Parana pine as the defining characteristic is therefore the primary criterion for classification within this specific HTS code.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that any plywood meeting the preceding criteria, and featuring a face ply of Parana pine with an exposed or transparently covered grain, will be classified directly under this code. Practical application involves confirming the identity of the face ply species through available documentation or physical inspection.
