HS Code for Wood door frames

Wood door frames are classified under HS code 4418.29. This classification falls under heading 4418, which covers builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. This heading includes items used in the construction of buildings, such as cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, and shingles. Specifically, subheading 4418.20 covers 'Doors and their frames and thresholds.' The further subdivision into 4418.29 applies when the wood used is not from a species defined as tropical wood. The classification is based on the product's function as a structural component of a building. Even if the frame is imported separately from the door leaf, it remains classified here because it is a dedicated part of a door assembly. The material must be predominantly wood, and the frame must be processed beyond simple sawing or planing to include joinery features like mortise and tenon joints or specific profiling for door fitment.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Wood door frames are often misclassified under HS code 4409.29, which covers wood continuously shaped along any of its edges. While a door frame is shaped, it is considered a finished piece of builders' joinery (4418) rather than just a shaped strip of wood. Another common error is using 4421.99 for 'other' wood articles. However, since 4418 specifically mentions door frames, it takes precedence according to GRI 3(a), which states that the most specific description should be used.
