Overview

This HTS category, 4412.91, specifically classifies plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood products that meet a particular composition requirement: they must feature at least one outer ply made from tropical wood. This designation is critical for accurate import and export declarations, as the origin and type of wood used significantly impact tariff rates and trade regulations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is straightforward. HTS 4412.92 covers similar laminated wood products where the outer ply is made from nonconiferous wood (other than tropical woods), while HTS 4412.99 pertains to those where both outer plies are constructed from coniferous wood. Therefore, the defining characteristic for 4412.91 is the presence of tropical wood as an outer layer.

Within this category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. Subcategories exist to account for additional construction materials or lack thereof. For instance, a distinct subcategory exists for products "Containing at least one layer of particle board," indicating that the presence of particle board as an internal layer will direct the classification to a more specific subheading. If a product does not contain particle board, it will fall under the "Other" residual subcategory within 4412.91, awaiting further refinement based on other potential classification criteria.
