Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the walnut layer is supplied as loose sheets under 6mm thick
Thin walnut veneers separated from plywood backing classify as sheets of wood under 4408, not assembled plywood panels.
If face ply is tropical hardwood like mahogany instead of walnut
Plywood with tropical nonconiferous face plies (excluding walnut) falls under the general 'other nonconiferous' subheading.
If both outer plies are coniferous softwood
Plywood with coniferous outer plies shifts to 4412.11 regardless of core materials, excluding nonconiferous face classifications.
