U.S. imports of blockboard, laminboard & battenboard with at least one tropical wood outer ply (HS 441251) totaled $675K in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBlockboard, laminboard, and battenboard differ from standard plywood in their core construction — a solid or strip-wood core rather than cross-banded veneers — and when faced with tropical species, they enter a heading with a notably detailed US tariff schedule. The 10-digit lines under this heading distinguish birch-faced panels (4412511030, 4412511050), flooring applications (4412513105), surface-coverage status, and residual categories, making face-species and surface-treatment documentation critical at entry. Indonesia is the leading supplier, consistent with its dominant role in tropical panel manufacturing broadly.

Lines such as 4412511030 (birch face, not surface covered) and 4412511050 (birch face, clear covered) turn on whether a transparent coating — such as lacquer or varnish — has been applied to the panel surface. An opaque coating or overlay would typically move the product to a different provision. Importers should confirm finishing specifications with the manufacturer before filing.
Lacey Act declarations are required for all wood product imports, including blockboard. For tropical-faced panels, importers must declare the genus and species of the tropical face veneer, the country where the wood was harvested, and the quantity. Maintaining supplier-provided species certificates and chain-of-custody records is advisable to support declarations and respond to any CBP inquiries.
