Questions
HS code 440394: common questions

HS code 440394 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared : Other : Of beech (Fagus spp.), other". The first two digits (44) are the chapter — Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal — and digits 3-4 (4403) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 440394?
Common products classified under 440394 include small beech logs, beech sticks, beech pulpwood, small beech timber, beech branches and similar items matching of beech. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 440394?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 440394 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (440394) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
