Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer plies are other tropical woods not on the specified list like Teak
Only enumerated tropical species like Sipo qualify here; others fall under 'other tropical' subheadings.
If any ply exceeds 6mm thickness
Thicker plies classify as fiberboard or density board under Chapter 44 heading 4411, not thin-ply plywood.
