Wood from another country

[backwoodstexas]

I scored 6 crates from work, enough plywood to floor and wall up two coops I plan to build. The wood for the floor is OSB from here in the US. However, the plywood I plan to use on the sides are from China, India or some other country. I do not have a clue what kind of wood. It does have a smell, but nothing like cedar. Any idea what kind of wood this is? Should I use it?

Paint it and it shouldn't be a problem. Can you post a picture of the crates in question?

They look ok to me, you might want to paint them anyways so they last longer.

Yeah, I plan to slop alot of paint on the outside, just didn't want to paint the inside. I'm certain this is not exterior grade plywood. LOL
