About builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles and shakes

HS code 4418 covers a diverse range of wood products that are essential for the construction and building industry. These products, collectively known as builders' joinery and carpentry, play a crucial role in the structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and functionality of residential, commercial, and industrial structures. The global demand for these wood-based solutions has remained strong, driven by factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development, and the growing preference for sustainable building materials.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 4418 typically involves a combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern manufacturing processes. This includes sawing, planing, and shaping wood into various components, such as doors, windows, flooring, and roof structures. Many manufacturers also utilize advanced technologies like computer-controlled machinery and automated assembly lines to enhance efficiency and precision.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 4418 goods are various types of wood, including softwoods like pine and fir, as well as hardwoods like oak and maple. Manufacturers may also utilize engineered wood products, such as 4412 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 4411 Fiberboard of wood or other ligneous materials, and 4415 Packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, of wood; cable-drums of wood, to create specialized building components. Additionally, the industry relies on adhesives, fasteners, and other hardware to assemble the final products.

Production outputs

The diverse range of products covered under HS code 4418 are primarily used in the construction and renovation of buildings. These include doors, windows, stairs, roofing components, and a variety of other structural and decorative elements. The outputs from this industry are often consumed by other sectors, such as 4407 Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 4409 (Wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed), and 4415 Packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, of wood; cable-drums of wood.
