HS code 440839 covers a range of tropical wood products that are sawn, sliced, or peeled into thin sheets, typically used for veneer or plywood production. This industry plays a vital role in the global wood processing and furniture manufacturing sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide variety of applications across numerous industries.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 440839 involves several key steps. First, tropical hardwood logs are harvested and transported to processing facilities. The logs are then sawn, sliced, or peeled into thin sheets, often with a thickness of 6mm or less. These sheets may then be further processed, such as by planing, sanding, or end-jointing, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440839 include tropical hardwood logs, specialized sawing or slicing equipment, and various tools and machinery for further processing the wood sheets. Skilled labor is also a critical input, as the production process requires precision and attention to detail.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440839 are thin wood sheets and panels that are used in the production of 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 940330 Wooden furniture for offices, and 940340 Wooden furniture for kitchens, among other applications. These products are essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, from furniture manufacturing to construction.
