4412.91.41.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4412.91.41.00, specifically covers "Other" plywood. Within the broader classification of plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood, this designation pertains to plywood that does not fit into more specific subcategories. The defining characteristic is that it is plywood where at least one outer ply is derived from tropical wood, and it falls under the "Other" classification within that sub-grouping.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling category "Not surface covered, or surface covered with a clear or transparent material which does not obscure the grain, texture or markings of the face ply" is crucial. This sibling category focuses on the surface treatment and visibility of the face ply's characteristics. Category 4412.91.41.00, however, is for plywood that *does not* meet those specific surface treatment criteria, implying it might have opaque surface coverings, decorative finishes that obscure the grain, or other treatments not covered by the sibling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4412.91.41.00 is on ensuring the product is indeed plywood (constructed from three or more layers of wood glued with the grains parallel to one another, or at an angle to each other), has at least one outer ply of tropical wood, and does not qualify for classification under the sibling category's more specific surface treatment definitions. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the face ply's composition and surface finishing to correctly assign goods to this category.
