Classification of wood carpentry under HS 4418.99
Wood carpentry for builders is classified under HS code 441899. This code falls within Chapter 44, which covers wood and articles of wood. Heading 4418 is specifically for builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, and shingles. The subheading 441899 is a residual category for carpentry items that are not specifically named in other subheadings (like windows, doors, or shutters). Carpentry generally refers to woodwork used for structural purposes or integrated into a building's framework, such as beams, rafters, and struts. This classification is essential for distinguishing structural wood components from decorative wood articles or furniture.

Codes often confused with 4418.99
Common mistake. A common mistake is classifying structural carpentry under 442199 (other articles of wood). However, 4418 is more specific for items used in building construction. Another error involves 441810 (windows) or 441820 (doors); if the item is a specific building component like a door frame, it must go to those specific codes rather than the residual 441899. Additionally, if the wood is simply sawn or planed but not "worked" into a carpentry component, it belongs in 4407.

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).
