HS Code 4413.00 – Wood; densified wood, in blocks, plates, strips or profile shapes
HS code 4413.00 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, densified wood, in blocks, plates, strips or profile shapes. It is used for laminated densified wood, compressed wood blocks, high-density wood plates, densified wood strips and permali wood.
What HS 4413.00 covers
This HS code covers densified wood, a specialized engineered wood product created by subjecting wood to high pressure and often heat, which significantly increases its density, hardness, and strength. This process alters the wood's cellular structure, making it more resistant to wear, moisture, and chemicals than natural wood. Densified wood is traded internationally for niche applications where extreme durability and mechanical performance are paramount. It is commonly used in electrical insulation, machine parts, textile shuttles, tool handles, and high-wear components in various industries. Importers are typically advanced manufacturing economies that require materials with specific high-performance characteristics for their industrial applications. Exporters are often countries with sophisticated wood processing technologies and access to suitable timber species. Key trade considerations include the specific technical specifications (e.g., density, compressive strength, electrical resistance), adherence to industrial standards, and the origin of the timber, especially concerning sustainability and legality regulations (like EUDR/EUTR). The market for densified wood is relatively specialized, focusing on industrial buyers rather than general consumers.

Codes often confused with 4413.00
Common mistake. This code might be confused with other engineered wood products like plywood (4412) or particle board (4410) if the densification process and resulting material properties are not clearly understood, or with solid wood (4407) if its altered nature is overlooked.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 441300, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 441300 in UN Comtrade data was Malaysia, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was France, with 11% 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 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).
