Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-shaped and ready for guitar assembly as instrument part

If imported as solid-sawn Parica boards rather than laminated
Solid lumber falls under sawn wood heading 4407; only laminated qualifies as plywood.
If surface-covered with opaque veneer obscuring Parica grain
Surface-covered plywood shifts to 4412.31.91 series regardless of core material.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include luthier specifications confirming instrument end-use to support plywood vs parts classification
• Document vibration/resonance testing if marketed as tonewood to prevent reclassification as finished wood
• Bundle with CITES if Schizolobium listed; many tonewoods require endangered species permits
