4412.99.81.00 - Other

This HTS code, 4412.99.81.00, classifies "Other" plywood within the broader category of plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood where both outer plies are of coniferous wood. These are multi-ply wood panels constructed from thin layers (plies) of wood glued together with the grain of adjoining plies at an angle to one another. The defining characteristic of this specific subcategory is that it encompasses plywood with coniferous outer plies which does not meet the specific face ply criteria of its sibling categories.

Distinguishing this category from its immediate siblings, 4412.99.61.00 and 4412.99.71.00, is crucial. Those sibling codes specifically identify plywood where the face ply is of either Parana pine (Araucaria angustifolia) or European red pine (Pinus silvestris), respectively. Therefore, 4412.99.81.00 serves as a residual classification for all other plywood with coniferous outer plies, provided they are not surface covered, or are surface covered with a clear or transparent material that does not obscure the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply, and do not fall under the more specific pine classifications.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification at this level relies on the absence of specific coniferous face ply types (like Parana pine or European red pine) while still meeting the general criteria for plywood with coniferous outer plies, and not being surface covered in a way that obscures the grain. Examples might include plywood with outer plies of spruce, fir, or other coniferous species not otherwise specified at the more granular levels.
