Analysis
HTS 4412.52.51 covers other, with at least one outer ply of nonconiferous wood: other under heading 4412 (plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 4412.52.41 (plywood: other), at 8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 61% of the 257 tariff lines in chapter 44. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 4412.52.10 (with a face ply of birch (Betula spp.), duty-free), 4412.52.31 (not surface covered, or surface covered with a clear or…, 8%) and 4412.52.41 (plywood: other, 8%).
