Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

Lacks tropical outer ply requirement, moving to other wood plywood classification.
If surface-covered with opaque laminate or plastic facing
Surface-covered plywood shifts to reconstructed wood products heading.
