HS Code 440890

HS code 440890 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading 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, whether or not planed, sanded, spliced or endjointed, of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm : Other". The first two digits (44) are the chapter — Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal — and digits 3-4 (4408) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 440890 include veneer sheets, wood veneer, sliced veneer, peeled veneer, plywood veneer and similar items matching sheets for veneering. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (440890) 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.

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.
