Product classification
HS code for Bamboo floor panels: 4418.73
Wood, assembled flooring panels, of bamboo or with at least the top layer (wear layer) of bamboo.
Classification of bamboo floor panels under HS 4418.73
Bamboo floor panels are classified under HS code 4418.73, which falls within Chapter 44 of the Harmonized System, covering wood and articles of wood. For the purposes of this chapter, bamboo is treated as wood. Heading 4418 specifically addresses builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels and assembled flooring panels. The classification of bamboo floor panels under 4418.73 is determined by the fact that these products are 'assembled.' This means they are not merely single pieces of bamboo but are constructed from multiple layers or strips that have been glued or otherwise joined together to form a cohesive panel. This assembly often includes a wear layer of bamboo bonded to a core material, such as high-density fiberboard or other wood species, providing structural stability. The classification follows General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, focusing on the product's finished state as a construction component ready for installation. These panels typically feature specialized edge profiles, such as tongue-and-groove or click-locking systems, which further distinguish them from simple raw materials.

Codes often confused with 4418.73
Common mistake. Bamboo floor panels are frequently misclassified under HS code 4409.21. While 4409.21 covers bamboo that is continuously shaped along its edges, it is strictly for 'unassembled' strips and friezes. Once these strips are joined together to form a panel, they must move to 4418.73. Another common error is using 4412, which covers plywood and veneered panels; however, 4418.73 is more specific for flooring applications. Importers must distinguish between a single shaped board (4409) and a composite panel (4418).

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).
