Harmonized System Code Classification

Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood (胶合板、单板贴面和类似层压木材)

The first two digits of the HS code "44" represent wood and articles of wood.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

  • Logs: Unprocessed wood.
  • Wood: Simply processed wood, such as sawn wood, planks, wooden beams, etc.
  • Wood products: Various products made from wood, such as furniture, construction components, packaging boxes, wooden barrels, wooden trim, wooden frames, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies items based on their material. Wood and its products belong to natural materials, so they are classified under Chapter 44. The purpose of this chapter is to group all wood-related goods together for management and statistics.

If you want to know more specific classifications, please provide more detailed HS codes (e.g., 4401, 4402, etc.), or provide the name and use of the specific item you want to classify.
