HS Code for Wood mosaic flooring
HS code 4418.74 pertains to assembled flooring panels specifically designed for mosaic floors. This classification falls under Chapter 44, which covers wood and articles of wood, and more specifically under heading 4418 for builders' joinery and carpentry. Mosaic flooring is distinguished by its construction, typically consisting of small wooden blocks or strips, known as tesserae, arranged in a decorative pattern (such as checkerboard or basketweave) and bonded to a support layer or held together by temporary backing like paper or mesh. The classification under 4418.74 requires that the panels be pre-assembled. This code is part of a specific hierarchy within 4418 that separates flooring by its construction type and material composition, ensuring that mosaic panels are distinguished from multilayer parquet or solid wood planks.

Common Misclassification
Mosaic flooring is often confused with HS code 4409, which covers wood continuously shaped along any of its edges (tongued, grooved, etc.). However, 4409 refers to individual strips or planks that have not been assembled into panels. Once the pieces are joined into a panel, they move to 4418. Another common misclassification is HS code 4412, which covers plywood and veneered panels. While some mosaic flooring may have a plywood base, the specific decorative mosaic nature of the top layer and its intended use as flooring panels direct it to 4418.74. Additionally, if the wear layer is made of bamboo, it must be classified under 4418.73 rather than 4418.74.
