Overview
HTS code 4412.91.51.05 specifically covers wood flooring that, while not necessarily constructed solely of plywood or veneered panels, meets the criteria for similar laminated wood products. These are typically finished flooring units designed for installation in buildings, distinguished by their construction involving multiple layers of wood or wood-based materials bonded together. The key characteristic is the composite nature of the flooring, often featuring a decorative top layer.
This category is differentiated from its sibling, 4412.91.51.15, by specific inherent properties or intended uses that are not explicitly defined by the broader "Other" designation. While both fall under the umbrella of "Other" laminated wood products with at least one outer ply of tropical wood, the distinction at this level implies a granular classification based on further material composition, surface treatment, or specific structural attributes that set it apart for customs valuation and tariff purposes.
As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 4412.91.51.05 represents the most granular level of detail for this particular type of wood flooring. Therefore, it does not introduce subcategories. Classification within this code relies on the complete fulfillment of all preceding hierarchical descriptors: being a laminated wood product resembling plywood or veneered panels, falling under the "other" category for non-plywood/veneered structures, having at least one outer ply of tropical wood, and further specified as "other" within that sub-grouping, culminating in this specific flooring product.
