Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not spliced or end-jointed
Non-spliced cherry veneers fall under the general 'other' subheading for dark red meranti, teak, and similar woods excluding spliced varieties.
If from different species like oak or maple
Veneer from other wood species (not cherry) uses the general spliced category rather than the species-specific cherry subheading.
If thickness exceeds 6mm or further processed into plywood
Plywood with cherry face veneers ≥6mm or assembled panels shifts to Chapter 44 heading for plywood, excluding thin veneers.
