4412.59.95.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 4412.59.95.00, specifically addresses "Other" laminated wood products within the broader category of plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood. It encompasses blockboard, laminboard, and battenboard that do not fall under the more specific subheadings, particularly those with outer plies of coniferous wood. The key defining characteristic for this "Other" designation is the absence of both outer plies being coniferous. This implies that at least one, or both, outer plies are made from non-coniferous wood species.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, Plywood (which would generally have a more direct construction and potentially different ply configurations), and from other specific blockboard/laminboard categories, the material composition of the outer plies is paramount. While blockboard, laminboard, and battenboard are characterized by their core construction (e.g., a core of solid wood strips or blocks), this particular subheading focuses on the outer veneer species when they are not exclusively coniferous.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 4412.59.95.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on accurately determining that the product meets the criteria for blockboard, laminboard, or battenboard and that its outer plies are comprised of at least one non-coniferous wood species. If the product's outer plies are exclusively coniferous, it would be classified under a different, more specific subheading.
