4418 — Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles and shakes
Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4418 when importing builders' joinery and carpentry products made from wood, such as wooden windows or assembled flooring panels. For instance, if you're shipping tropical wood windows, this heading is applicable.
Deciding between 441811 and 441819? If your windows are made from tropical wood, classify them under 441811. Otherwise, use 441819 for windows made from other types of wood. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification.
When it comes to doors, if they're constructed from tropical wood, choose 441821. For doors made from non-tropical wood, use 441829. This differentiation helps ensure compliance with specific import regulations and duties.
For engineered timber products, you might consider 441881 for glue-laminated timber or 441882 for cross-laminated timber. If your product doesn't fit those categories, look at 441889 for other engineered structural timber products.
