What HS 4407.93 covers
This HS code covers sawn or processed maple wood (Acer spp.) thicker than 6mm, a highly versatile temperate hardwood known for its exceptional strength, hardness, and fine, uniform texture. Maple is particularly popular in North America but enjoys global demand. It is extensively used for high-quality furniture, durable flooring (especially sports floors), cabinetry, musical instruments (e.g., guitar necks, drum shells), and butcher blocks. Its light color and ability to take stains well contribute to its broad appeal. Major importers include countries with strong manufacturing and construction industries, such as China, Vietnam, and various EU nations, while exporters are primarily North American countries like the USA and Canada. Compliance with regulations like EUDR and EUTR is essential for ensuring responsible and legal sourcing in international trade.

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).
