HS Code 4409.29 – Wood; non-coniferous, other than bamboo or tropical wood, (including unassembled strips and friezes for parquet flooring), continuously shaped along any edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed

HS code 4409.29 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, non-coniferous, other than bamboo or tropical wood, (including unassembled strips and friezes for parquet flooring), continuously shaped along any edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed. It is used for oak flooring planks, maple wall panels, ash moldings, beech parquet strips and walnut stair treads.

What HS 4409.29 covers

This category covers non-coniferous wood, excluding tropical species and bamboo, that has been continuously shaped along its edges, ends, or faces. This shaping, which can include tongue-and-groove, shiplap, or other profiles, prepares the wood for specific uses such as flooring, paneling, and joinery. Common species include oak, maple, ash, and beech. The global trade in these shaped hardwoods is substantial, driven by demand from the construction, furniture, and interior design sectors. Major importers are typically countries with strong manufacturing bases and high consumer demand for quality wood products, such as those in Europe and North America. Exporters are often countries with significant temperate forest resources, including those in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Compliance with timber legality regulations like EUTR and EUDR is crucial, as is ensuring sustainable sourcing practices, even for non-tropical species.

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).
