Alternative Classifications

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

4412.31Lower: 18% vs 43%

If at least one outer ply is coniferous wood like pine

Coniferous outer plies shift classification to subheading 4412.31, separating softwood from nonconiferous hardwood plywood flooring.

4418.40.00Lower: 38.2% vs 43%

If surface-covered with opaque paint, vinyl, or printed layer obscuring grain

Surface coverings that hide the wood grain move it out of 'not surface-covered or transparent' to other wooden flooring types.

4412.99Lower: 10% vs 43%

If not specifically manufactured or used as flooring panels

General purpose plywood without flooring designation falls under other nonconiferous plywood, not the specific wood flooring provision.
