What HS 4407.92 covers
HS code 440792 encompasses sawn or processed beech wood (Fagus spp.) exceeding 6mm in thickness, a dense and hard temperate hardwood widely utilized, particularly in Europe. Beech is highly valued for its fine, even grain, excellent bending properties, and light, consistent color, making it an ideal material for furniture, chairs, flooring, and turned items. It's also a popular choice for tool handles and kitchenware due to its durability. Major importers are countries with significant manufacturing sectors, especially in furniture, such as China, Vietnam, and Germany. Exporters are predominantly European nations with extensive beech forests, including Germany, France, and Romania. Sustainability and legal sourcing are critical considerations, with regulations like EUDR and EUTR impacting trade flows and demanding due diligence from all market participants.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
