About wood; oak (quercus spp.), sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, thicker than 6mm

HS code 440791 covers a significant segment of the global wood products industry, specifically focused on the processing and trade of oak (Quercus spp.) lumber. Oak is a highly valued and versatile hardwood species, widely used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and various other applications. This code plays a crucial role in the international trade of semi-processed oak wood, catering to the needs of diverse industries and contributing to the broader economic landscape.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 440791 typically involves several key steps. Oak logs are first sawn or chipped lengthwise, using specialized machinery, to create planks or boards of varying thicknesses. These semi-processed wood pieces may then undergo additional processing, such as slicing, peeling, planing, sanding, or end-jointing, depending on the specific requirements of the end-users. The goal is to transform the raw oak logs into standardized, high-quality wood products that can be readily incorporated into a wide range of manufacturing and construction processes.

Production inputs

The primary input for the industry covered by HS code 440791 is oak (Quercus spp.) logs, which are the raw material sourced from oak forests and plantations. In addition to the oak logs, the production process requires specialized woodworking machinery, such as saws, planers, and sanders, as well as skilled labor to operate the equipment and ensure the quality of the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential inputs for powering the production facilities and machinery.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry under HS code 440791 are semi-processed oak wood products, including sawn or chipped oak boards, planks, and other lumber forms. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, such as 441000 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal, 442000 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings, and 940600 Prefabricated buildings, where the oak wood is further processed and incorporated into final products.
