Harmonized System Code Classification

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, planed, or dried.
• Wood products: Various products made from wood, such as furniture, building components, packaging crates, tool handles, toys, etc.

Reason for Classification:

The HS code system classifies items based on their material. Wood and wood products are considered natural materials, so they are classified under Chapter 44. This chapter was established to provide more detailed classification and management of different types of wood and wood products, facilitating trade statistics and customs duties.

In short, if the main component of the product is wood, or if it is made from wood, it is likely to fall under the HS code 44 chapter.
