About wood, tropical; iroko, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, thicker than 6mm

HS code 440728 covers the trade of tropical wood, specifically iroko, that has been sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled. This type of wood is commonly used in a variety of applications, including furniture, construction, and flooring. As a key component in many industries, the trade of iroko wood plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of iroko wood products under HS code 440728 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw logs are harvested from tropical forests and transported to processing facilities. The logs are then sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled to create the desired wood products. Depending on the end-use, the wood may also be planed, sanded, or end-jointed to meet specific dimensional and finish requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of iroko wood products under HS code 440728 include the raw iroko logs, which are the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery such as saws, chippers, and planers are necessary for the various processing steps. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440728 are various forms of processed iroko wood, including sawn boards, chipped pieces, sliced veneers, and peeled sheets. These products are then consumed by a range of other industries, such as 441000 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal, 940150 Furniture; wooden, for the bedroom, and 441820 Doors, wooden, among others.
