Classification of shaped wood under HS 4409.29

Shaped wood is classified under HS code 4409.29, which covers non-coniferous wood that has been continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces. This classification is part of Chapter 44, which deals with wood and articles of wood. The specific heading 4409 applies to wood that has undergone a profiling process—such as tongueing, grooving, rebating, chamfering, or V-jointing—to facilitate assembly or provide decorative molding. The subheading 4409.29 is specifically for non-coniferous species (hardwoods) other than bamboo or tropical woods. This classification is determined by the fact that the wood is more than simply sawn; it has been mechanically worked to a specific profile that remains constant along its entire length.

Codes often confused with 4409.29

Common mistake. Shaped wood is frequently misclassified under HS code 4407, which is for wood sawn or chipped lengthwise but not further worked. Once a board is planed and then profiled (e.g., a tongue is added), it must move from 4407 to 4409. Another common error is classifying assembled flooring under this code; if the wood strips are already joined into panels, they fall under HS code 4418.75. Additionally, if the wood is coniferous (like pine or cedar), it belongs under 4409.10, and tropical woods belong under 4409.22.

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).
