Product classification
HS code for Multilayer 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 multilayer wood flooring under HS 4418.75
Multilayer wood flooring is classified under HS code 4418.75, which falls within the category of builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. This specific code is reserved for assembled flooring panels that consist of multiple layers of wood bonded together, commonly known as engineered wood flooring. Unlike solid wood flooring, which is typically classified under heading 4409, multilayer panels are complex engineered products designed for structural stability and ease of installation. The classification under 4418.75 specifically excludes bamboo-based panels unless they have a top layer (wear layer) of wood other than bamboo. The "multilayer" aspect refers to the construction where a top wear layer of hardwood is supported by intermediate layers of softwood, plywood, or high-density fiberboard (HDF). This structural complexity necessitates its placement in 4418 rather than 4412 (plywood), as the primary intended use and finished form are specifically for flooring applications. Customs authorities look for the presence of tongue-and-groove systems or other assembly features to confirm this classification.

Codes often confused with 4418.75
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these panels under HS code 4409, which is intended for continuously shaped wood (tongued, grooved, etc.) that is not yet assembled into panels. Another frequent misclassification is HS code 4412, which covers plywood and veneered panels. While multilayer flooring resembles plywood, the specific application as flooring panels moves it to 4418.75. Bamboo flooring is also often confused with this code but belongs under 4418.73.

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).
