HS code for Wood board: 4410.19

Wafer board and similar board of wood n.e.c. in item no. 4410.1, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances.

Classification of wood board under HS 4410.19

Wood board under HS code 4410.19 refers to particle board and similar boards of wood that are not specifically classified as oriented strand board (OSB) or waferboard. This classification is part of Chapter 44, which covers wood and articles of wood. Heading 4410 is specifically for particle board, oriented strand board, and similar board (for example, waferboard) of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances. Subheading 4410.19 acts as a residual category for wood-based boards that do not meet the technical definitions of OSB or waferboard but are manufactured through the same process of heat and pressure application to wood chips or particles. The classification depends heavily on the size and shape of the wood particles used. Unlike fiberboard (heading 4411), which is made from wood fibers that have been refined to a pulp-like state, particle board retains the discrete identity of the wood chips. This distinction is vital for customs valuation and regulatory compliance, as different boards have varying structural properties and environmental standards. The "other" category 4410.19 often includes specialized boards like flaxboard or boards made from other ligneous materials that have been processed similarly to wood particle board. Importers must ensure that the resin content and density of the board align with the specifications of 4410 to avoid confusion with plywood (4412) or high-density fiberboard. The classification also considers whether the board has been surfaced with melamine, veneers, or other materials, though most basic particle boards remain within this heading.

Codes often confused with 4410.19

Common mistake. Common misclassifications include 4411 (fiberboard), which is distinguished by fiber refinement, and 4412 (plywood), which consists of laminated sheets. It is also frequently confused with 4410.11 (OSB) or 4410.12 (waferboard) if the particle size is not correctly identified.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
