About blockboard, laminboard and battenboard; with at least one outer ply of non-coniferous wood, (not containing particle board)
HS code 441252 covers a specific type of engineered wood product known as blockboard, laminboard, and battenboard. These materials are widely used in the construction, furniture, and interior design industries, providing a versatile and cost-effective solution for a variety of applications. As a key component in the global wood products trade, this industry plays an important role in supporting economic growth and meeting the demand for sustainable building materials.
Production process
The production of blockboard, laminboard, and battenboard typically involves the lamination of multiple layers of wood veneers or other wood-based materials. The core is usually made from softwood or reconstituted wood, while the outer plies are typically non-coniferous hardwoods. The layers are bonded together using adhesives, and the final product is then sanded, trimmed, and finished to meet specific requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs for this industry include raw wood materials, such as 440310 Sawlogs and veneer logs of non-coniferous wood, 440320 Wood, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, and 440391 Wood, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared. Additionally, the industry requires adhesives, machinery for lamination and finishing, and skilled labor to operate the production processes.
Production outputs
The primary output of this industry is the 441252 (Blockboard, laminboard and battenboard; with at least one outer ply of non-coniferous wood, (not containing particle board)) product. These materials are then consumed by a range of industries, including 940330 Wooden furniture for offices, 940340 Wooden furniture for the kitchen, and 940350 Wooden furniture for the bedroom.
