Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Logs: Unprocessed wood.
• Timber: Wood that has been cut, planed, or otherwise simply processed.
• Wood products: Furniture, building components, crates, wooden barrels, wooden moldings, plywood, particle board, fiberboard, and various products made from wood.

Reason for Classification:

The HS code system initially classifies items based on their material. Wood and its products have unique material properties, so they are classified separately as Chapter 44. This classification is set up to facilitate the statistical analysis, taxation, and management of wood and its products.

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