Production process

The production of goods under HS code 440839 typically involves several key steps. First, tropical hardwood logs are harvested and transported to processing facilities. The logs are then sawn, sliced, or peeled to the desired thickness, often using specialized machinery. The resulting wood sheets or planks may then be further processed, such as by planing, sanding, or end-jointing, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440839 include tropical hardwood logs, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as saws, slicers, and planers, as well as skilled labor to operate these machines and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440839 are sheets for veneer or plywood, as well as other tropical wood products that have been sawn, sliced, or peeled to a thickness of 6mm or less.
