Last updated: July 2026 dataTropical-species plywood—where at least one outer face ply is a wood specified in the HTS subheading note for tropical species such as meranti, virola, mahogany, or pencil cedar—carries a highly granular US tariff structure with over twenty 10-digit lines distinguishing face species, panel dimensions, and surface condition. Indonesia leads US imports under this heading, followed by Ecuador and Malaysia, reflecting the geographic concentration of tropical hardwood veneer production in Southeast Asia and South America. Several lines are species-specific: meranti (4412314860), virola (4412314866), albizia (4412315260), mersawa (4412315264), parica (4412315266), pencil cedar (4412315268), Spanish cedar (4412312610), walnut-face (4412312620), and mahogany-face (4412314200), among others. Importers should be aware that certain tropical species may be subject to CITES permit requirements or Lacey Act documentation obligations depending on the country of harvest.

The Lacey Act requires importers to file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (PPQ Form 505) with USDA APHIS for wood products, including plywood. The declaration must identify the scientific name, country of harvest, and quantity of the wood species used in the product. For tropical plywood with multiple species in the core and face, importers must declare all commercially significant wood components. Failure to file or filing inaccurate declarations can result in civil or criminal penalties.
Several 10-digit lines under this heading are dimension-specific. For example, certain birch-face tropical outer ply lines distinguish panels measuring not more than 3.6 mm thick and not more than 1.2 m × 2.2 m (4412310620) from those exceeding those dimensions (4412310640). Similarly, line 4412314500 covers panels with outer plies of specified tropical wood that are not more than 3.6 mm thick but exceed 1.2 m × 2.2 m. Importers should measure and document panel dimensions precisely, as misclassification between dimension-specific lines is a common audit finding.
