HS v2022 Code: 441292
About plywood; n.e.c. in heading 4412, with at least one outer ply of non-coniferous wood
HS code 441292 covers a specific type of plywood that has at least one outer ply made from non-coniferous wood. This type of plywood is widely used in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries due to its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in various manufacturing processes, the trade of 441292 plywood plays a significant role in the global economy, facilitating the production of a wide range of products that are essential to modern life.
Production process
The production of 441292 plywood typically involves the following key steps: veneer peeling or slicing, drying, gluing, and pressing. Manufacturers first obtain logs of non-coniferous wood, such as 440920 birch or 440810 oak, and peel or slice them into thin veneer sheets. These veneers are then dried to the appropriate moisture content before being coated with adhesive and arranged in alternating grain directions. The layered veneers are then pressed under heat and pressure to form the final plywood panel.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of 441292 plywood include non-coniferous wood logs, adhesives (typically phenol-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resins), and specialized machinery for veneer production, drying, and pressing. Manufacturers may also require additional resources such as energy (electricity, steam, or heat) and quality control equipment to ensure the final product meets industry standards.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 441292 is plywood panels that can be used in a variety of applications, such as 940330 furniture, 940350 wooden frames, and 442010 wooden containers. These plywood panels may also be further processed or incorporated into other products, such as 441820 doors, 441850 shingles and shakes, and 441860 posts and beams. The trade of 441292 plywood supports the production of these downstream industries and contributes to the overall economic activity.
