This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer ply is non-tropical hardwood like birch

Surface coverings that obscure grain move to 4412.94 for veneered panels with applied finishes.
If imported as individual tropical veneers, not laminated
Unlaminated tropical hardwood veneer sheets classify under Chapter 44 heading 4408 for wood sheets.
