Chapter 44 classification notes

Chapter 44 dominated by tropical-hardwood trade — significant CITES Appendix II coverage (rosewood, mahogany). EUTR (EU Timber Regulation) and US Lacey Act apply to imports — illegal-origin wood seizure routine.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Bamboo articles go to Chapter 14 or 46 (plaiting materials), not 44; bamboo flooring (engineered) is 4418.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
