The first two digits of the HS code "44" represent Wood and articles of wood.
Specifically, this chapter includes:
- Logs: Unprocessed wood.
- Wood: Wood that has been simply processed, such as sawn wood, wood boards, wood planks, etc.
- Wood products: Various products made from wood, such as furniture, building 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 are made from 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 statistical purposes.
If you want to know more specific classifications, please provide more detailed HS codes (e.g., 4401, 4402, etc.), or provide the specific name and use of the item you want to classify.

Customer Reviews
This site is a lifesaver for anyone dealing with wood products. The explanation of the 4412.51 code was precise and easy to understand.
The content is accurate, but it lacks some practical examples. I had to look up additional resources to confirm the HS code for my product.
Finally, a resource that explains the difference between 4412 and 4412.51. This helped me classify my birch-faced plywood for export.
The HS code classification for laminated wood panels is explained well, but I wish there were more details on import tariffs for different countries.
I was looking for details on tropical wood plywood and this site nailed it. The 4412511030 code was exactly what I needed.
