HS Code 4410.19 – Wafer board and similar board of wood n.e.c. in item no. 4410.1, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances
HS code 4410.19 is the 6-digit subheading for wafer board and similar board of wood n.e.c. in item no. 4410.1, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. It is used for wafer board panels, structural wafer board, non-structural wafer board, specialty wood composite panels and engineered wood panels (not elsewhere specified).
What HS 4410.19 covers
This HS code encompasses wafer board and other similar wood-based panels not specifically classified elsewhere under 4410.1, which are agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. Wafer board, a precursor to OSB, is made from large, flat wood wafers, offering distinct properties for specific applications. While less prevalent than OSB today, these 'other' boards still find niche markets where their unique characteristics are valued. Importers might be specialized manufacturers or construction firms seeking alternative panel solutions, and exporters are typically countries with diverse wood processing capabilities and access to various timber species. Understanding the specific type of 'similar board' is crucial, as properties, applications, and compliance with regulations like EUDR and EUTR can vary widely, impacting trade value and market acceptance.

Codes often confused with 4410.19
Common mistake. Can be confused with OSB (4410.12) or even particle board (4410.11) if the 'similar board' definition is broad, but wafer board specifically uses larger, flatter wood pieces than particle board and lacks the oriented layering of OSB.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 441019, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 441019 in UN Comtrade data was Ecuador, with 47% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Colombia, with 25% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
