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, wood trim, wooden frames, etc.
Reason for classification:
The HS code system classifies goods primarily by 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 (such as 4401, 4402, etc.) or the specific name and use of the item you want to classify.

Customer Reviews
I was confused about the classification of non-coniferous wood products, but this site made it easy to understand. Highly recommend it!
The explanation of 4412923170 was very detailed. I’m glad I found this site before exporting my veneered panels.
Great resource for understanding HS code 4412. The example products really helped me identify what fits this classification.
The site is good, but I wish they provided more tariff details for specific HS codes like 4412. Still useful, though.
The information on the 44 chapter was spot-on. I now know exactly how wood products are grouped under HS codes.
