HS code for Tropical wood windows: 4418.11
Wood, windows, French-windows and their frames, of tropical wood.
Classification of tropical wood windows under HS 4418.11
Tropical wood windows are classified under HS code 4418.11 because they fall within the category of builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. Chapter 44 of the Harmonized System governs wood and articles of wood, while heading 4418 specifically addresses products used in the construction of buildings. Subheading 4418.11 is reserved for windows, French-windows, and their frames that are manufactured from tropical wood species as defined in the Subheading Notes to Chapter 44. The classification is determined by the material composition and the intended use as a structural component of a building. Tropical woods are specifically identified in the legal notes to ensure consistent global taxation and environmental monitoring. If the window frame is made of these specific woods, such as Mahogany, Teak, or Dark Red Meranti, it must be classified here rather than under general wood window codes. The presence of glass does not change this classification, provided the wood gives the item its essential character as a window unit.

Codes often confused with 4418.11
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying these items under 4418.19, which is the code for windows made of non-tropical wood like pine or oak. Importers must verify the botanical species of the wood to avoid this. Additionally, if the window is primarily made of aluminum with only a wood veneer, it should be classified under 7610.10. Another common mistake is using 4418.20, which is strictly for doors and their frames, not windows.

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).
