HS v2017 Code: 441239

About plywood; consisting only of sheets of wood (not bamboo), each ply 6mm or thinner, with both outer plies of coniferous wood

HS code 441239 covers a specific type of plywood that is composed entirely of wood sheets, each with a thickness of 6mm or less, and with both outer layers made from coniferous wood. This type of plywood is widely used in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries due to its durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. As a key component in various manufacturing processes, the trade and production of this plywood product plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 441239 plywood involves several key steps. First, thin sheets of coniferous wood are peeled or sliced from logs. These wood veneers are then arranged in alternating grain directions, typically with an odd number of layers. The layers are then bonded together using adhesives, often under heat and pressure, to create the final plywood panel. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the plywood meets industry standards for thickness, strength, and appearance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 441239 plywood include coniferous wood logs, adhesives, and specialized machinery. The wood logs are typically sourced from sustainable forestry operations, while the adhesives used can vary depending on the specific application and performance requirements. Additionally, the production process requires specialized equipment such as veneer peeling or slicing machines, panel presses, and finishing tools to ensure the plywood meets the necessary specifications.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 441239 plywood is the finished plywood panels, which are then consumed by various industries. These panels are commonly used in the construction of buildings, furniture, and packaging materials. The plywood produced under this code may also be further processed or combined with other materials to create more specialized products, such as 441299 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, or 441219 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood.
