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

HS code 440793 covers a range of maple wood products that are sawn, chipped, sliced, or peeled. This category is an important part of the global timber and wood processing industry, providing raw materials for a variety of downstream applications. Maple is a highly versatile and sought-after hardwood species, valued for its strength, durability, and distinctive grain patterns.

Production process

The production of maple wood products under HS code 440793 typically involves several key steps. First, maple logs are harvested from forests and transported to sawmills or other processing facilities. The logs are then sawn or chipped lengthwise to create planks, boards, or other shapes. Depending on the desired final product, the wood may also be sliced or peeled using specialized machinery. In some cases, the processed maple wood may be further planed, sanded, or finger-jointed to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of maple wood products under HS code 440793 include raw maple logs, as well as various machinery and equipment for sawing, chipping, slicing, and peeling the wood. Additional inputs may include power sources, such as electricity or fuel, as well as tools and consumables used in the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of maple timber resources, as well as the efficiency of the processing equipment, are critical factors in this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440793 are various forms of maple wood products, including planks, boards, and other shapes. These outputs are often used as raw materials in the production of 441000 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal, 442000 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings, and 940600 Prefabricated buildings, among other industries. The specific applications for these maple wood products can vary widely, depending on the needs of the downstream consumers.
