Classification Coverage

The market data and analysis are aligned with international trade classification systems to ensure consistent reporting. The primary classification framework is based on the Harmonized System (HS) codes for plywood, specifically those under HS Chapter 44 for wood and articles of wood. The report’s quantitative trade data and market sizing are built upon these standardized code definitions, which categorize plywood primarily by the wood material (e.g., tropical, other) and surface characteristics.

HS Codes (framework)

• 441213 – Plywood, tropical wood, face ply (outer ply of tropical wood)
• 441214 – Plywood, other wood, face ply (outer ply of non-tropical wood (e.g., birch, maple))
• 441219 – Plywood, other wood, non-face ply (inner plies only, not surface layers)
• 441222 – Plywood, tropical wood, surface covered (with resin/paper overlay (e.g., decorative))
• 441223 – Plywood, other wood, surface covered (with resin/paper overlay (e.g., decorative))
• 441229 – Plywood, other wood, other (other plywood not elsewhere specified)
