This type of wood is highly valued for its distinctive appearance, durability, and versatility in a wide range of applications, making it an important commodity in the global timber trade.

Production process

The production of mahogany wood covered under HS code 440721 typically involves harvesting the trees, sawing or chipping the logs lengthwise, and then slicing or peeling the wood into the desired thickness. The wood may also be planed, sanded, or finger-jointed to meet specific requirements. These processing techniques help to ensure the wood is of high quality and suitable for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is the tropical mahogany (Swietenia spp.) trees. These trees are typically grown in tropical regions, such as Central and South America, and require specific environmental conditions to thrive. In addition to the raw timber, the production process may also require specialized machinery for sawing, chipping, slicing, and finishing the wood, as well as various tools and equipment for handling and transporting the materials.

Production outputs
