Southern Yellow Pine Plywood Panel
Plywood panel made solely from sheets of coniferous wood, with both outer plies of southern yellow pine (Pinus taeda) and each ply not exceeding 6 mm thick. Not surface-covered or covered only with transparent material that preserves the wood grain. Falls under 4412.39.4039 due to specific southern pine outer ply and lack of opaque covering.
