Classification of tropical wood doors under HS 4418.21
Tropical wood doors, including their frames and thresholds, are classified under HS code 441821. This code is part of Heading 4418, which encompasses builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles, and shakes. The subheading 441821 is specifically designated for doors and their frames and thresholds made of tropical wood. Classification depends on the item being a finished or semi-finished component of a building structure. The use of tropical wood species, such as Meranti, Iroko, or Sapelli, triggers the requirement for this specific subheading. It is important to note that the door frame and threshold are included under this code even if imported separately from the door leaf, provided they are clearly identifiable as parts of a door assembly. The structural integrity and the botanical species of the wood are the primary factors in determining this classification. This code is essential for monitoring the trade of high-value timber used in the construction industry and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations regarding tropical hardwood exports.

Codes often confused with 4418.21
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 441829, which is used for doors made of non-tropical wood, such as oak or pine. Importers also sometimes mistakenly use 441811, which is specifically for windows and their frames. Furthermore, if a door is imported with glass that provides its essential character, some might look toward Chapter 70, but 441821 remains the correct code for wooden doors even if glazed.

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).
