About chapter 44

Chapter 44 covers wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal: raw lumber, sawn timber, plywood, particleboard, and finished wood products like frames and tools. It is one of the largest manufacturing chapters, spanning everything from raw logs to finished wooden goods, with treatment method (sawn, planed, veneered) driving much of the subheading structure.

Classification tip: Wood packaging material (pallets, crates) usually needs ISPM 15 heat-treatment or fumigation certification stamped on the item itself, separate from and in addition to the HS code on the invoice.

Codes and descriptions follow the WCO six-digit Harmonized System nomenclature. National tariff schedules extend these to 8–13 digits and set the actual duty rate, so confirm the full code for your destination country with your customs broker before filing.

Chapter 44 FAQ

What does HS code chapter 44 cover?

Chapter 44 of the Harmonized System covers: wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal. It belongs to section IX (Wood & Wood Products) and contains 21 four-digit headings, 4401–4421.

How many HS codes are in chapter 44?

Chapter 44 contains 21 four-digit headings and 128 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 4401 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 44?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
