About Chapter 44
Chapter 44 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal”. It is part of Section IX, Wood, Cork, Straw & Basketware, together with Chapter 45 (cork and articles of cork) and Chapter 46 (manufactures of straw).
The chapter is divided into 21 headings, from 4401 (firewood) to 4421 (other articles of wood). The headings with the most codes that people search for are plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood (4412), other articles of wood (4421), particle board (4410), firewood (4401) and fibre board of wood or other ligneous materials (4411).
Note 1 sends wood chips and powder of a kind used mainly in perfumery or pharmacy to heading 1211, bamboo for plaiting to heading 1401, activated charcoal to heading 3802, and furniture, lamps and prefabricated buildings to Chapter 94.
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 31 codes in this chapter, each with its full classification: its chapter, heading and sub-heading, and the codes beside it.
Every code in this chapter begins with 44: four digits make a heading, six a sub-heading, and eight a tariff item of India's Customs Tariff. How many of those digits a GST tax invoice shows depends on the business, not the goods: under Notification No. 78/2020 – Central Tax, from 1 April 2021, four digits where aggregate turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, and six above it. Up to ₹5 crore, the code may be left off invoices to unregistered buyers.
No GST rate is shown here. GST rates were revised in September 2025, and a rate appears on this site only once it has been checked against the CBIC rate notifications.
