About wood; of birch (betula spp.), sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, of a thickness exceeding 6mm, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed

HS code 440796 covers a specific type of processed birch wood, which is an important raw material for various industries. Birch is a versatile and durable hardwood that is widely used in the production of furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and other wood-based products. This code is significant as it represents a crucial step in the supply chain for many wood-processing industries, contributing to the broader economic activities related to timber and wood products.

Production process

The production of wood products under HS code 440796 typically involves several key steps. First, birch logs are sawn or chipped lengthwise to create planks or strips of wood. These are then sliced or peeled to the desired thickness, which in this case exceeds 6mm. The wood may also be further processed by planing, sanding, or finger-jointing to meet specific requirements for end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440796 are birch logs, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as sawmills, planers, and sanders, are necessary to perform the various processing steps. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also important inputs to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440796 is processed birch wood in the form of planks, strips, or sheets, with a thickness exceeding 6mm. These products are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 442190 Furniture and parts, 441900 Wood manufactures, n.e.s., and 441300 Densified wood, in blocks, plates, strips or profile shapes, which use the birch wood as a raw material for their own manufacturing processes.

Revisions to 440796

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 440796. The most recent 1 version of this code (440796) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
