U.S. imports of nonconiferous wood veneer & plywood sheets (not over 6mm) (HS 440890) totaled $14.6M in April 2026, traded with 36 countries.
Importers of Nonconiferous Wood Veneer & Plywood Sheets (Not Over 6mm) paid $609K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $5.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCanada dominates US supply of this heading, which covers decorative and structural veneer sheets of temperate hardwoods — ash, birch, cherry, maple, red oak, walnut, and others — sliced or peeled to no more than 6mm. The US schedule is unusually granular, with separate 10-digit lines for each major species in both spliced (e.g., 4408900105 for ash, 4408900110 for birch) and unspliced forms, making precise species identification at entry a classification priority. Germany, Italy, Vietnam, and Estonia round out the leading supplier group, reflecting both European temperate hardwood production and Asian processing of imported logs.

The US tariff schedule assigns distinct 10-digit lines to ash, birch, cherry, maple, red oak, walnut, and other nonconiferous species in both spliced and unspliced forms. Misidentifying the species — or failing to distinguish red oak (4408900131/4408900176) from other oak (4408900137/4408900181) — can result in an incorrect tariff line, potential penalties, and complications during CBP review. Species should be confirmed by mill certificates or independent grading.
Spliced or end-jointed sheets (lines ending in the 01xx series, e.g., 4408900105–4408900151) have been joined edge-to-edge or end-to-end before export to create wider or longer panels. Non-spliced sheets (lines in the 015x–018x series) are individual cuts. The distinction is determined by physical inspection of the sheet and must be declared accurately on the entry.
