About builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles and shakes

HS code 4418 covers a diverse range of wood products used in the construction industry, including doors, windows, flooring, and other carpentry items. These products play a crucial role in the building and renovation of residential, commercial, and industrial structures, contributing significantly to the global construction sector. As a key component of the wood processing industry, the 4418 category represents an important economic activity, with applications across a wide range of construction projects.

Production process

The production of goods classified under HS code 4418 typically involves various woodworking techniques, such as sawing, planing, and jointing. Manufacturers may use both manual and automated processes to shape, assemble, and finish the wood components. Advanced technologies, including computer-numerical-control (CNC) machinery, are often employed to ensure precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 4418 goods include various types of wood, such as softwoods (e.g., pine, fir, spruce) and hardwoods (e.g., oak, maple, cherry). Manufacturers may also utilize adhesives, fasteners, and other materials to assemble the final products. Specialized tools and machinery, such as saws, planers, and sanders, are essential for the woodworking operations.

Production outputs

The products classified under HS code 4418 are primarily used in the construction industry, serving as key components in the building and renovation of structures. These wood products are often consumed by other industries, such as 4401 Fuel wood, wood in chips or particles; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms, 4407 Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, and 4409 (Wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed).
