HS Code 4412.39 – Plywood; consisting only of sheets of wood (not bamboo), each ply 6mm or thinner, with both outer plies of coniferous wood

HS code 4412.39 is the 6-digit subheading for plywood, consisting only of sheets of wood (not bamboo), each ply 6mm or thinner, with both outer plies of coniferous wood. It is used for pine plywood, spruce plywood, fir plywood, CDX plywood and sheathing plywood.

What HS 4412.39 covers

This HS code encompasses plywood manufactured solely from sheets of wood, excluding bamboo, where each individual ply is 6mm or thinner, and crucially, both the outer plies are made from coniferous wood species. In international trade, this category is significant for the construction and furniture industries, serving as a versatile material for sheathing, subflooring, and various structural applications. Major importers typically include countries with robust construction sectors like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, while key exporters are often timber-rich nations such as Canada, Russia, and Sweden. Traders need to be aware of quality standards, moisture content, and the specific coniferous species used, as these factors heavily influence pricing and suitability for different end-uses. The market is influenced by global timber prices, housing market trends, and increasingly, by sustainable forestry certifications.

Codes often confused with 4412.39

Common mistake. This code is often confused with 441249 (LVL with coniferous outer plies) due to the coniferous aspect, but 441239 specifically refers to traditional plywood, not laminated veneered lumber. It can also be mistaken for other plywood types with non-coniferous outer plies (e.g., 441233 for tropical wood).

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).
