Product classification
HS code for Engineered wood flooring: 4418.75
Wood, assembled flooring panels, not of bamboo or with at least the top layer (wear layer) of bamboo, multilayer.
Classification of engineered wood flooring under HS 4418.75
Engineered wood flooring is classified under HS code 4418.75. This classification falls within Chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood) and heading 4418 (Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood). Specifically, 4418.75 is designated for multilayer assembled flooring panels, excluding those made of bamboo. The term "multilayer" refers to flooring constructed from two or more layers of wood bonded together, typically with a decorative hardwood wear layer on top and a softwood or plywood core. This construction provides greater dimensional stability than solid wood flooring. The classification is driven by the fact that these panels are "assembled" (often featuring tongue-and-groove or click-lock systems) and are intended for use as flooring. Under the Harmonized System, the material composition and the structural assembly are the primary factors for this specific subheading, distinguishing it from simple wood planks or non-wood laminates.

Codes often confused with 4418.75
Common mistake. A frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 4409, which covers wood continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, etc.) along any of its edges. However, 4409 is generally reserved for solid wood planks, not multilayered assemblies. Another common error is using HS code 4411 for laminate flooring. Laminate flooring usually has a fiberboard core and a printed paper surface, whereas 4418.75 requires a real wood wear layer. Finally, bamboo-based engineered flooring must be classified under 4418.73, not 4418.75.
Top exporters and importers of HS 441875 (the code used for engineered wood flooring), 2025

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).
