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

HS code 440793 covers a wide range of maple wood products that are sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled. Maple is a highly valued hardwood species known for its strength, durability, and distinctive grain patterns. This industry plays a significant role in the global timber trade, supplying raw materials for a variety of applications, including furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and musical instruments.

Production process

The production of maple wood products under HS code 440793 typically involves several key steps. First, maple logs are harvested from forests and transported to sawmills or processing facilities. The logs are then sawn or chipped lengthwise to produce lumber, planks, or other intermediate products. These raw materials may then be further processed through slicing, peeling, planing, sanding, or end-jointing, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of maple wood products under HS code 440793 include mature maple trees (060499 Trees and other plants, live), specialized sawing and processing equipment, and skilled labor. Maple logs are the primary raw material, which are typically sourced from managed forests or plantations. Additional inputs may include adhesives, sanding materials, and other consumables used in the various processing steps.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440793 are various forms of maple wood products, including lumber, planks, and other semi-finished or finished goods. These outputs are often used as inputs for the production of 940330 Wooden furniture, 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, and 920600 Percussion musical instruments, among other applications.
