Wood; engineered structural timber products, I beams
HS v2022 Code: 441883
About wood; engineered structural timber products, i beams
HS code 441883 covers engineered structural timber products, specifically I-beams. These engineered wood products play a crucial role in the construction industry, providing strong, lightweight, and cost-effective building materials. I-beams are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects, contributing to the overall structural integrity and efficiency of buildings and infrastructure.
Production process
The production of engineered structural timber products, such as I-beams, involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, including wood veneers or lumber, are carefully selected and prepared. These materials are then layered and bonded together using adhesives to create the desired I-beam shape and structural properties. The assembled beams are then subjected to precise cutting, shaping, and finishing processes to ensure consistent quality and dimensions.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the production of HS code 441883 products are wood-based raw materials, such as 440710 Wood; sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 440320 Wood; in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, and various adhesives. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as laminating presses and cutting tools, are essential for the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 441883 is engineered structural timber products, specifically I-beams. These I-beams are widely used in the construction industry, where they are incorporated into 441820 Wood; builders' joinery and carpentry, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles and shakes, 940320 Furniture; wooden, for the bedroom, and other building components. The strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness of these engineered wood products make them a popular choice for a variety of construction applications.
