4412.59.70.00 - With a face ply of European red pine (Pinus silvestris)

This HTS classification, 4412.59.70.00, pertains to plywood specifically constructed with a face ply of European red pine (Pinus silvestris). This designation applies to plywood that is not surface-covered, or is covered with a transparent material that allows the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply to remain visible. The essential defining characteristic for this category is the exclusive use of European red pine as the outermost layer of veneer.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS code 4412.59.60.00 covers plywood with a face ply of Parana pine (Araucaria angustifolia), distinguishing it by the species of coniferous wood used. Any other plywood with an outer ply of coniferous wood, not specifically identified as European red pine or Parana pine, would fall under the broader "Other" category, 4412.59.80.00.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is definitive based on the presence of European red pine as the face ply and the condition of the surface treatment, as described in the parent category. Examples of goods that would fall here include raw plywood sheets intended for further processing or finished plywood panels where the aesthetic of European red pine is intended to be prominent.
