HS v2022 Code: 440391

About wood; oak, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated

HS code 440391 covers the trade of oak wood in its raw, unprocessed state. This is a critical input for a wide range of industries, including furniture manufacturing, construction, and various wood-processing sectors. The global oak wood market is valued at billions of dollars annually and plays a significant role in the international trade of forestry products.

Production process

Oak trees are harvested from managed forests or plantations, with the logs then transported to processing facilities. The wood is typically stripped of bark and sapwood, and may be roughly squared, but remains untreated and unfinished. This 'in the rough' state allows for maximum flexibility in how the wood can be utilized downstream.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is, of course, oak trees. Specialized forestry equipment and machinery are used to harvest, transport, and process the raw logs. Labor, energy, and transportation infrastructure are also key inputs required to bring this product to market.

Production outputs

Oak wood in the rough state 440391 Wood; oak, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated is a versatile material consumed by a variety of downstream industries. It may be further processed into sawn wood, veneers, or other semi-finished products classified under codes such as 440792 Wood; oak, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm and 440890 Veneer sheets and sheets for plywood, whether or not spliced, and other wood sawn lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded, spliced or end-jointed, of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm.
