Classification of bamboo plywood under HS 4412.10
Bamboo plywood is classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 441210. This classification falls within Chapter 44 of the HS, which pertains to "Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal." Specifically, heading 4412 covers "Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood." The subheading 441210 is designated for products of bamboo. This classification is appropriate because bamboo plywood is manufactured by laminating multiple layers of bamboo strips or veneers, often with adhesives, to create a composite panel. The resulting product shares the structural characteristics of plywood, making its inclusion under this heading logical, distinguishing it from solid bamboo or other forms of processed bamboo.

Codes often confused with 4412.10
Common mistake. Bamboo plywood is sometimes confused with other wood products. HS 4409 (Wood; bamboo, continuously shaped along any edges, ends or faces) is for solid, shaped bamboo, not laminated panels. HS 4411 (Fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials) refers to products like MDF or HDF, which are made from wood fibers, distinct from the layered construction of plywood. HS 4418 (Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood) is for finished building components, such as doors or windows, rather than raw plywood 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).
