Common questions
What is HS code 4408?
4408 is the HS 2022 heading for Sheets for veneering (including those obtained by slicing laminated wood), for plywood or for similar laminated wood and other wood, sawn lengthwise, sliced or peeled, planed or not, sanded, spliced or end-jointed, of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm. It is in chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal), section IX, and has 4 six-digit subheadings, from 4408.10 to 4408.90.
Can I write 4408 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 4408.10), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
