4412.91.06.00 - Containing at least one layer of particle board

This HTS classification, 4412.91.06.00, specifically addresses plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood products that contain at least one layer of particle board. These articles are characterized by their construction, where particle board forms an integral part of the laminated structure, contributing to their overall properties and intended uses. This category encompasses a range of composite wood panels designed for various applications where the benefits of laminated wood are desired, often combined with the cost-effectiveness or specific properties of particle board.

The critical defining characteristic here is the presence of particle board as at least one of the layers within the laminated wood. This distinguishes it from other laminated wood products that might be composed solely of veneers, plies of solid wood, or other composite materials not falling under the definition of particle board. While sibling categories at this level may exist for other types of laminated wood, this specific code is reserved for those where particle board is explicitly a component.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus is on understanding the precise criteria for inclusion. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product's construction clearly demonstrates at least one layer of particle board within the overall laminated wood structure to correctly apply this classification. Examples may include certain types of composite panels used in furniture manufacturing, shelving, or construction where particle board provides a core or intermediate layer.
