About particle board, oriented strand board (osb) and similar board (e.g. waferboard) of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances

HS code 4410 covers a range of engineered wood products, including particle board, oriented strand board (OSB), and similar wood-based panels. These materials play a crucial role in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries, providing cost-effective and versatile solutions for a wide variety of applications. As a key component of the global timber and wood processing sector, the 4410 industry is an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of particle board, OSB, and similar wood-based panels typically involves the following key steps: wood particle or strand preparation, blending with resin or other binding agents, mat formation, and hot pressing. The specific techniques may vary depending on the type of product, but generally, wood particles or strands are dried, mixed with adhesives, and then consolidated under heat and pressure to form the desired panel structure.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 4410 industry include wood raw materials, such as 4401 Wood in chips or particles, 4403 Wood in the rough, and 4407 Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise. Additionally, the industry relies on various resin and binding agents, as well as specialized machinery for particle/strand preparation, mat formation, and hot pressing.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 4410 industry are particle board, OSB, and similar wood-based panels, which are widely used in the construction, furniture, and packaging sectors. These materials are often consumed by industries covered under codes such as 4411 Fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials, 9403 Furniture and parts thereof, and 4415 Packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, of wood; cable-drums of wood; pallets, box pallets and other load boards, of wood; pallet collars of wood.
