4412.92.31 - Other

This category encompasses plywood that is not surface-covered, or is covered with a clear or transparent material that does not obscure the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply. It includes plywood where the outer ply is not made of coniferous wood, and it is not specifically classified under a birch face ply. The defining characteristic is the absence of opaque surface treatments or coverings that would conceal the natural appearance of the face veneer.

This classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories by its broad scope, encompassing all plywood meeting the general criteria of not being surface covered or being covered with transparent material, *except* for those with a face ply of birch. Therefore, if the face ply is of a different non-coniferous wood, such as maple, oak, or tropical hardwoods, and it meets the surface covering criteria, it would fall within this category.

Within this "Other" classification for plywood, further subdivisions exist to capture variations in the face ply material. Specifically, there are categories for plywood with a face ply of walnut (Juglans spp.) and a residual "Other" category for all other types of plywood that meet the preceding criteria but do not have a walnut face ply. This tiered approach allows for more granular reporting and tariff application based on the specific wood species used for the visible surface of the plywood.
