HS Code 4412.41 – Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood; laminated veneered lumber (LVL); with at least one outer ply of tropical wood

HS code 4412.41 is the 6-digit subheading for plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, laminated veneered lumber (LVL), with at least one outer ply of tropical wood. It is used for okoume plywood, meranti plywood, sapele plywood, teak veneered panels and marine plywood (tropical species).

What HS 4412.41 covers

This category covers plywood, veneered panels, and similar laminated wood products, including laminated veneered lumber (LVL), distinguished by having at least one outer ply made from tropical wood. These products are highly valued in international trade for their aesthetic appeal, durability, and often, resistance to moisture, making them popular for decorative applications, marine-grade uses, and high-end furniture. Importers are typically found in developed economies like the EU, the US, and Japan, where demand for premium and exotic wood products is strong. Exporters are predominantly tropical timber-producing nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brazil. Key considerations for traders include ensuring compliance with regulations like EUDR and EUTR, which address deforestation and illegal logging, as well as managing the higher costs associated with tropical species and their sustainable sourcing.

Codes often confused with 4412.41

Common mistake. This code is often confused with other plywood codes like 441233 (plywood with tropical outer plies, but not specifically LVL) or 441242 (LVL with non-coniferous outer plies). The distinction lies in the presence of 'tropical wood' as an outer ply and the inclusion of LVL/veneered panels.

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. 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).
