HS v2022 Code: 441210

About plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood; of bamboo

HS code 441210 covers the production of plywood, veneered panels, and other laminated wood products made primarily from bamboo. This industry plays a crucial role in the global timber and wood processing sector, providing essential materials for construction, furniture manufacturing, and a wide range of other applications. As a renewable and versatile resource, bamboo-based wood products have gained increasing popularity in recent years, driven by growing environmental awareness and the need for sustainable building solutions.

Production process

The production of bamboo-based plywood and laminated wood typically involves several key steps. First, bamboo culms are harvested, processed, and sliced into thin veneer sheets. These sheets are then dried, graded, and arranged in alternating grain directions. The layers are bonded together using adhesives, often under heat and pressure, to form the final plywood or laminated panels. Specialized machinery and equipment are used throughout the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality and dimensional stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 441210 products include raw bamboo material, adhesives (such as urea-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde resins), and various machinery and equipment for cutting, drying, and pressing the wood layers. Skilled labor is also a crucial input, as the manufacturing process requires technical expertise and attention to detail. Additionally, access to reliable transportation and logistics infrastructure is important for sourcing raw materials and distributing the finished products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 441210 are bamboo-based plywood, veneered panels, and other laminated wood products. These materials are widely used in the construction industry for applications such as flooring, wall paneling, and furniture manufacturing. They may also be consumed by producers of 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 441219 Laminated wood, with a block, strip or fruitwood surface layer, and 441292 Laminated wood, with a block, strip or fruitwood surface layer; other, among other related wood product industries.
