Alder Plywood Panel 4x8 ft from Japan

A 3/4-inch thick plywood panel measuring 4 feet by 8 feet, consisting solely of thin wood sheets with at least one outer ply of alder (Alnus spp.), a nonconiferous hardwood. Each ply is not exceeding 6 mm thick, and the panel is not surface-covered, preserving the natural grain and texture of the face ply. This product falls under HTS 4412.33.32.75 due to its specific species composition and lack of surface covering.

Import Tips

Verify species certification for the outer ply (e.g

alder) through supplier documentation to confirm nonconiferous classification

Ensure each ply thickness does not exceed 6 mm and provide mill test reports to avoid reclassification as thicker veneered panels

Declare exact dimensions and ply count accurately; common pitfall is misstating as surface-covered if any transparent coating is applied
