Classification of bamboo flooring under HS 4418.73
Bamboo flooring is classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 441873. This code is located within Chapter 44, which covers \"Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal.\" More specifically, heading 4418 pertains to \"Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood.\" The subheading 441873 is precisely defined as \"Wood; assembled flooring panels, of bamboo or with at least the top layer (wear layer) of bamboo.\" The classification is determined by the product's form as assembled flooring panels and its material composition, specifically being made of bamboo or having a bamboo wear layer. This code accurately reflects the product's construction and its intended use as a finished flooring material, distinguishing it from raw bamboo materials or other wood flooring types.

Codes often confused with 4418.73
Common mistake. Bamboo flooring can be confused with other HS codes, particularly those related to wood products. For instance, HS code 4409 covers \"Wood, continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed.\" This code applies to individual wood pieces, not assembled panels. Bamboo flooring, being an assembled panel, falls under 441873. Another potential misclassification is with HS code 441879, which covers \"Other assembled flooring panels\" not specifically of bamboo or tropical wood. Since bamboo is explicitly mentioned in 441873, this specific code takes precedence. Incorrect classification can lead to customs discrepancies and delays.

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).
