HS v2022 Code: 440394

About wood; of beech (fagus spp.), in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated, of which any cross-sectional dimension is less than 15 cm

HS code 440394 covers the trade of beech wood (Fagus spp.) in its raw, unprocessed form. Beech is a popular hardwood species used extensively in the furniture, construction, and manufacturing industries. As a versatile and durable material, the global demand for beech wood remains strong, making this code an important component of the broader timber and forestry trade.

Production process

The production of beech wood under HS code 440394 primarily involves the harvesting and initial processing of beech trees. This typically includes felling the trees, removing the bark and sapwood, and roughly squaring the logs to meet the size requirements specified in the code. The wood may also be left in its natural, untreated state, without any further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of beech wood under HS code 440394 are the beech trees themselves, which are typically sourced from managed forests or plantations. Specialized forestry equipment, such as chainsaws and logging machinery, are also necessary for the harvesting and initial processing of the raw material. Additionally, transportation infrastructure is crucial for moving the processed beech wood to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440394 is rough, unprocessed beech wood that can be used as a raw material in various industries. This wood may be further processed and transformed into a wide range of products, including 440799 Wood; of other tropical wood, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 442010 Wood; carved, of wood, and 442090 Wood; articles of wood, n.e.c. in heading no. 4420.
