Last updated: April 2026 dataConiferous veneer and plywood face sheets not exceeding 6 mm thick are foundational inputs for structural and decorative panel manufacturing. The US schedule carves out Douglas fir specifically (4408100125) alongside a general coniferous line (4408100145) and a sawn-lengthwise subheading (4408100100), reflecting Douglas fir's distinct commercial identity in structural applications. Canada leads supply, consistent with its dominant role in North American softwood trade, with India and Mexico also among top sources.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is singled out because of its distinct structural properties — high strength-to-weight ratio and wide availability in large, clear sheets — that make it the benchmark species for structural plywood face veneers in North American construction. The dedicated line allows separate tracking of this commercially dominant species for trade statistics and potential trade-remedy purposes.
The 6 mm (approximately 0.236 inch) threshold is the definitive split: sheets at or below 6 mm fall under HTS 4408 as veneer or plywood sheets, while material exceeding 6 mm is classified under HTS 4407 as sawn lumber. For borderline-thickness products, importers should obtain precise mill measurements and retain them in entry records, as CBP may request verification.
