Blockboard, laminboard and battenboard; with both outer plies of coniferous wood
HS v2022 Code: 441259
About blockboard, laminboard and battenboard; with both outer plies of coniferous wood
HS code 441259 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 due to their strength, durability, and versatility. As a key component in the global timber trade, this industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, supporting a range of downstream applications and contributing to the sustainable use of natural resources.
Production process
The production of blockboard, laminboard, and battenboard typically involves the assembly of multiple layers of wood, with the outer plies made from coniferous species. The core layers are often composed of lower-grade or recycled wood materials, which are then bonded together using adhesives. This process creates a strong, stable, and dimensionally consistent panel that can be further processed, shaped, and finished to meet the specific requirements of various applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of HS code 441259 products include coniferous wood species, such as pine, fir, and spruce, which are used for the outer plies. The core layers may incorporate a variety of wood materials, including recycled or lower-grade timber. Additionally, the industry relies on adhesives, machinery for cutting, pressing, and finishing the panels, as well as energy sources to power the production facilities.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS code 441259 industry are the engineered wood panels themselves, which are then consumed by a range of downstream industries. These panels are commonly used in the manufacture of furniture, cabinetry, doors, and other interior building components 441820 Doors and their frames and thresholds, of wood, as well as in the construction of walls, floors, and roofs 441829 Other builders' joinery and carpentry, of wood. The versatility of these products makes them an essential part of the global timber supply chain.
