Wood; shuttering for concrete constructional work

HS v2022 Code: 441840

About wood; shuttering for concrete constructional work

HS code 441840 covers wood products used as shuttering for concrete construction work. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction sector, providing essential materials for formwork and other concrete-related applications. As a key component of the broader wood products industry, the 441840 segment contributes to the overall economic activity and development of the construction industry worldwide.

Production process

The production of wood shuttering for concrete construction typically involves sawing, planing, and assembling various wood components to create the desired formwork shapes and sizes. Manufacturers may use a combination of manual and automated processes, depending on the scale of production and the specific requirements of the end-users. The wood is often treated with preservatives or coatings to enhance its durability and resistance to weathering and other environmental factors.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 441840 industry include raw wood materials, such as softwood or hardwood lumber, as well as adhesives, fasteners, and other hardware components necessary for the assembly of the shuttering. Specialized machinery, such as saws, planers, and assembly equipment, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry may rely on transportation services to move the finished products to construction sites and distribution channels.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 441840 industry is wood shuttering and formwork used in concrete construction projects. These products are typically consumed by 441800 Wood; articles not specified elsewhere and 681010 Concrete; for construction, prefabricated structural components for building or civil engineering industries, which incorporate the wood shuttering into their own construction processes. The 441840 industry also contributes to the broader 441000 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal sector, providing essential materials for the construction and building industries.
