Classification of cellular wood panels under HS 4418.92
Cellular wood panels are classified under HS code 4418.92. This code is situated within Chapter 44, which covers wood and articles of wood. Heading 4418 is dedicated to builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles, and shakes. Cellular wood panels are structural components consisting of a core layer sandwiched between two outer layers of wood or wood-based panels. The core is typically a "cellular" structure, such as a honeycomb made of paperboard or thin wood strips, or a lattice of wooden laths. This design allows for a lightweight panel that maintains significant structural integrity. These panels are primarily used in the construction industry for making doors, partitions, and sometimes furniture components. The classification under 4418.92 is specific to these panels as building components. It is important to distinguish these from other wood panels like plywood or particle board, which do not have the hollow or cellular core that defines this specific HS code.

Codes often confused with 4418.92
Common mistake. Cellular wood panels are often misclassified under HS code 4412, which covers plywood and veneered panels. While they may look similar, 4412 is for solid-core laminated wood, whereas 4418.92 is for panels with a hollow or cellular interior. Another common error is using 4411, which covers fiberboard. If the panel is a composite with a cellular core, it must be classified under 4418.92 regardless of whether the faces are made of fiberboard. Additionally, simple particle board without a cellular core falls under 4410.

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).
