HS Code 4418.82 – Wood; engineered structural timber products, cross-laminated timber (CLT or X-lam)
HS code 4418.82 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, engineered structural timber products, cross-laminated timber (CLT or X-lam). It is used for CLT wall panels, CLT floor slabs, CLT roof panels, CLT elevator shafts and CLT stair cores.
What HS 4418.82 covers
This category is dedicated to Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), also known as X-lam, which is an engineered wood product comprising multiple layers of lumber boards stacked perpendicularly and bonded together to form large, solid panels. These panels are used for structural walls, floors, and roofs in mid-rise and high-rise buildings, offering a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel. Major players in international trade include specialized CLT manufacturers, prefabricated building companies, and large-scale timber construction firms. Key aspects for traders involve understanding CLT's excellent structural performance, inherent fire resistance, seismic resilience, and its role in accelerating construction timelines due to off-site prefabrication. Adherence to sustainable forestry practices and compliance with regulations such as EUDR and EUTR are critical due to the significant volume of timber involved in CLT production and the growing demand for green building solutions.

Codes often confused with 4418.82
Common mistake. Often confused with 441881 (Glulam) because both are engineered timber, but CLT is a panel product for surfaces, whereas glulam is for linear elements. Also 4412 (plywood) if not recognized as a solid structural panel.

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).
