4412.99.91.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," within the subheadings for plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood, specifically captures those products not otherwise enumerated in preceding categories. It serves as a residual classification for a broad spectrum of laminated wood articles. The defining characteristic is their composition as plywood, which is constructed from multiple layers or plies of wood glued or otherwise bonded together, with the grain of each ply oriented at an angle to the adjacent plies. This construction provides enhanced strength and stability compared to solid wood.

This residual "Other" category is distinct from its sibling, which specifically addresses panels that are either not surface-covered or are covered with a clear or transparent material that allows the grain, texture, or markings of the face ply to be visible. Therefore, this "Other" classification is intended for laminated wood products that have undergone surface treatments or possess surface characteristics beyond those permitted by the sibling category, such as opaque coatings, paints, veneers of other materials, or specific decorative finishes that obscure the underlying wood grain.

As this node represents a leaf node, it does not have subcategories. Its classification is determined by ensuring the product meets the general definition of plywood, veneered panels, or similar laminated wood, and critically, that it does not fit into any more specific or narrowly defined categories preceding it. This often involves careful consideration of the type of wood used for plies, the bonding agents, and any surface treatments or embellishments that differentiate it from other classifications within this chapter.
