Birch Plywood Cabinet Grade Panel 1220x2440mm 18mm from Japan

Metric-sized birch-faced plywood panel (1220mm x 2440mm, 18mm thick) designed for high-quality cabinetry applications, with the birch face ply exposed and not surface-covered. Classified under HTS 4412.92.11.30 due to its plywood construction, nonconiferous birch outer ply, and lack of opaque surface covering that would obscure the wood grain. Ideal for kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and shop fitting.

Import Tips

• Include detailed layer composition (number of plies, species per layer) in commercial invoice to demonstrate birch face ply qualification

• Check for Phase 1 vs Phase 2 CARB compliance labels; non-compliant panels may face detention or penalties at U.S. ports

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'veneer' instead of 'plywood'; ensure minimum 3 plies to qualify as plywood under HTS definitions
