About wood; non-coniferous species, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared; treated with paint, stains, creosote or other preservatives

HS code 440312 covers a wide range of non-coniferous wood products that have been treated with various preservatives. These products play a crucial role in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries, providing durable and weather-resistant materials for a variety of applications. The global trade in these treated wood products is significant, with both developed and developing countries participating in the import and export of these goods.

Production process

The production of treated non-coniferous wood products typically involves several key steps. First, the raw wood is harvested and processed into the desired shapes and sizes, which may include rough-sawn or squared timber. The wood is then subjected to various preservative treatments, such as the application of paint, stains, creosote, or other chemical preservatives. These treatments help to protect the wood from weathering, pests, and decay, extending its useful life and making it suitable for outdoor and high-moisture applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 440312 products include non-coniferous wood species, such as 440320 Wood; non-coniferous, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, as well as a range of preservative chemicals and treatment processes. Specialized machinery and equipment for wood processing, treatment, and finishing are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 440312 are treated non-coniferous wood products, which are used in a variety of applications, including construction, fencing, outdoor furniture, and packaging. These products may be further processed or incorporated into other 4404 Wood; hoopwood, split poles, piles, pickets and stakes, pointed but not sawn lengthwise, 4407 Wood; sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, or 4409 (Wood; (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed).
