44 归类原因:Wood and articles of wood
The HS code "44" chapter mainly covers the following content:
- Logs and timber: Including various unprocessed logs, roundwood, squared timber, boards, etc.
- Wood-based panels: Such as plywood, particle board, fiberboard, etc.
- Wood products: Including furniture, building components, packaging boxes, pallets, tool handles, and various products made of wood.
- Other wood products: Covers wood products not listed in other subheadings.
Classification logic:
The classification basis of this chapter is that the raw material is wood, and the product is mainly made of wood. Customs will classify the product into more specific subheadings based on the degree of processing of the wood, the product's use and structure, etc.
Specifically, the detailed classification of chapter 44 will consider:
- Whether processed: Unprocessed logs and finely processed furniture are classified differently.
- Product use: Building materials and furniture made of wood are classified differently.
- Product structure: Plywood and solid wood boards are classified differently.
If you need more detailed classification information, please provide a more specific HS code (for example, 4403 indicates "sawn wood or timber") or provide a detailed description of the product, and I will do my best to help you analyze.
I hope the above information is helpful to you!

Customer Reviews
This is the best resource I've found for understanding HS code 44. The examples of products like birch veneer helped me apply the information directly.
The page is informative, but I found the navigation a bit confusing. More links to related HS codes would be helpful.
The detailed explanation of 4408.90 and birch veneer sheets was exactly what I needed for my import project. Thank you!
The section on classification logic was really useful. I'm working on exporting some wood products and this helped me understand how customs classify them.
I was confused about the difference between plywood and wood veneer, but this page explained it perfectly with the HS code 4408.90. Highly recommend!
