4412.91.31 - Other

This HTS classification covers plywood where at least one outer ply is made from tropical wood, and which is not surface-covered in a way that obscures the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply. This specifically excludes plywood with a face ply of birch, which is categorized under a separate sibling node. The emphasis here is on the presence of tropical wood in the outer layers of the plywood, distinguishing it from other laminated wood products.

The subcategories within this HTS code further refine the classification based on the specific type of tropical wood used for the face ply. For instance, distinct classifications exist for plywood featuring Spanish cedar, walnut, sen, or mahogany as the face ply. This granular breakdown allows for precise identification and statistical tracking of imported plywood based on its prominent tropical wood veneer.

The final subcategory, "Other," serves as a residual classification for plywood meeting the general criteria of this node but not falling under the more specific tropical wood types listed. This ensures all eligible plywood products are captured within the HTS framework, providing comprehensive coverage.
