HS v2022 Code: 441299

About plywood; n.e.c. in heading 4412, with both outer plies of coniferous wood

HS code 441299 covers a specific type of plywood, where both the outer plies are made of coniferous wood. This category of plywood is widely used in the construction, furniture, and packaging industries due to its durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. As a key component in various wood-based products, the 441299 plywood industry plays a vital role in the broader global economy, supporting a range of downstream industries and contributing to international trade flows.

Production process

The production of 441299 plywood typically involves the following key steps: veneer peeling or slicing, drying, gluing, and pressing. Coniferous wood logs are first peeled or sliced into thin veneer sheets, which are then dried to the appropriate moisture content. The dried veneer sheets are then coated with adhesive and arranged in alternating grain directions, typically in an odd number of plies. The layered assembly is then pressed under heat and pressure to form the final plywood panel.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 441299 plywood industry include coniferous 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

The primary output of the 441299 plywood industry is the plywood panels themselves, which are then consumed by a range of downstream industries. These include the 442100 Furniture industry, the 441000 Wood and wood products industry, and the 470000 Pulp, paper, and paperboard industry, where 441299 plywood is used in the production of furniture, construction materials, and packaging solutions.
