About wood; beech (fagus spp.), sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, thicker than 6mm

HS code 440792 covers a wide range of beech wood products that are sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled. Beech is a popular hardwood species used extensively in the furniture, construction, and woodworking industries. This code plays a significant role in international trade, as beech wood is in high demand globally for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 440792 typically involves several key steps. Beech logs are first sawn or chipped lengthwise to create planks, boards, or other larger pieces. These larger pieces are then sliced or peeled to create thinner, more uniform sheets or veneers. Depending on the end-use, the wood may also be planed, sanded, or finger-jointed to enhance its appearance and finish.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440792 include beech logs, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized woodworking machinery, such as saws, planers, and sanders, are necessary to process the beech wood into the desired products. Other inputs may include adhesives, fasteners, and finishing materials, depending on the specific applications.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 440792 include a wide range of beech wood products, such as lumber, panels, and veneers. These outputs are often used as inputs for the production of 940161 Wood furniture, 441213 Plywood, and 442010 Wood carvings, among other industries. The versatility of beech wood makes it a valuable commodity in both domestic and international markets.
