About plywood; n.e.c. in heading 4412, with at least one outer ply of tropical wood
HS code 441291 covers plywood products that have at least one outer ply made from tropical wood. Plywood is a versatile engineered wood product that is widely used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and various industrial applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global timber trade, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to solid wood for many end-users.
Production process
The production of plywood under HS code 441291 typically involves the following key steps: veneer peeling or slicing, drying, gluing, and pressing. Tropical wood logs are first peeled or sliced into thin veneer sheets, which are then dried to the appropriate moisture content. The veneer sheets are then coated with adhesive and arranged in alternating grain directions before being pressed into the final plywood panels. The panels may undergo additional processing, such as sanding or cutting, to meet specific customer requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of plywood under HS code 441291 include tropical wood logs, adhesives (such as urea-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde resins), and specialized machinery for veneer production, drying, and pressing. Manufacturers may also require access to reliable transportation networks and energy sources to support their production processes.
Production outputs
Plywood produced under HS code 441291 is primarily used in the construction industry for applications such as flooring, roofing, and wall sheathing. It is also commonly used in the manufacture of furniture, cabinetry, and other wood-based products. The output of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 940320 Furniture; wooden, for the bedroom, and 940330 Furniture; wooden, for the office, among others.
