Rough timber is classified under <strong>4403<\/strong>, sawn wood under <strong>4407<\/strong>, and continuously shaped wood under <strong>4409<\/strong>. Most commercial timber attracts <strong>18% GST<\/strong>, while firewood is exempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the HSN Code for Wood?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wood and articles of wood are classified under <strong>HSN Chapter 44<\/strong> of the Indian Customs Tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single HSN code for every type of wood. The classification depends on the product&#8217;s physical form, processing and intended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, untreated timber logs, sawn planks and grooved wooden boards have different HSN headings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wood HSN Code List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Type of wood<\/th><th>HSN code<\/th><th>GST rate<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Rough wood and timber logs<\/td><td>4403<\/td><td>18%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sawn wood and timber planks exceeding 6 mm in thickness<\/td><td>4407<\/td><td>18%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Continuously shaped wood<\/td><td>4409<\/td><td>18%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wood veneer sheets not exceeding 6 mm in thickness<\/td><td>4408<\/td><td>18%*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Plywood and laminated wood<\/td><td>4412<\/td><td>18%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Particle board and OSB<\/td><td>4410<\/td><td>18%*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MDF and other wood fibreboards<\/td><td>4411<\/td><td>18%*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wood chips and sawdust<\/td><td>4401<\/td><td>5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Firewood or fuel wood<\/td><td>4401<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wood charcoal<\/td><td>4402<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Specific product-based concessions may apply. For example, certain boards and veneer products have separate GST entries.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> These are four-digit HSN headings. The applicable six- or eight-digit classification depends on the exact product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GST Rate on Wood in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most commercially traded timber products, including rough wood, sawn timber and continuously shaped wood, attract <strong>18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For taxable supplies at 18%, the tax is divided as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Intra-state sales:<\/strong> 9% CGST + 9% SGST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inter-state sales:<\/strong> 18% IGST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, GST rates differ for certain wood products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, firewood is exempt from GST, while wood chips and sawdust generally attract 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses should identify the correct HSN heading and match the product description with the applicable GST notification before preparing invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GST Calculation Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose a timber wholesaler sells sawn wooden planks worth \u20b920,000, excluding GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Particular<\/th><th>Amount<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Taxable value<\/td><td>\u20b920,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GST @ 18%<\/td><td>\u20b93,600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total invoice value<\/td><td><strong>\u20b923,600<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an intra-state sale, the GST amount consists of \u20b91,800 CGST and \u20b91,800 SGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HSN Codes for Different Types of Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Rough Wood and Timber Logs \u2013 HSN 4403<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HSN <strong>4403<\/strong> covers wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It commonly applies to timber logs before they undergo substantial processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicable GST rate is generally <strong>18%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Sawn Wood and Timber Planks \u2013 HSN 4407<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HSN <strong>4407<\/strong> covers wood that has been sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, with a thickness exceeding 6 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It includes qualifying timber boards and planks used in furniture manufacturing, carpentry and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GST rate is generally <strong>18%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Shaped Wood \u2013 HSN 4409<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HSN <strong>4409<\/strong> covers wood that has been continuously shaped along its edges or faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples include qualifying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grooved wooden boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tongue-and-groove timber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moulded wooden strips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chamfered or rounded wooden profiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GST rate is generally <strong>18%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exception:<\/strong> Bamboo flooring classified under the relevant concessional entry attracts 5% GST. Classification and rate depend on the exact product description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Plywood and Laminated Wood \u2013 HSN 4412<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HSN <strong>4412<\/strong> covers plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These materials are commonly used in furniture, interiors and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GST rate is generally <strong>18%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed classifications, refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/mybillbook.in\/blog\/hsn-code\/hsn-code-for-plywood-veneered-panels-and-similar-laminated-wood\/\">HSN code for plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Firewood, Wood Chips and Sawdust \u2013 HSN 4401<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HSN <strong>4401<\/strong> includes fuel wood, wood chips, sawdust and certain wood waste products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the GST treatment differs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Firewood or fuel wood:<\/strong> Nil GST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wood chips, particles and sawdust:<\/strong> Generally 5% GST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction is important because products under the same HSN heading can attract different GST rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify the Correct HSN Code for Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct HSN code depends on how the wood is supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the product is an unprocessed timber log, check HSN <strong>4403<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it has been sawn into planks exceeding 6 mm in thickness, check HSN <strong>4407<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If its edges have been continuously shaped or grooved, check HSN <strong>4409<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it is plywood or laminated wood, check HSN <strong>4412<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wood species alone does not determine the heading. Processing, thickness and product characteristics are also relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses should verify the applicable six- or eight-digit tariff item before using it for GST invoices or customs documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs About Wood HSN Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the HSN code for wood in India?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wood falls under HSN Chapter 44. Rough wood is generally classified under 4403, sawn wood under 4407, and continuously shaped wood under 4409.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the GST rate on wood?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most commercial timber products attract 18% GST. However, firewood is exempt, while wood chips and sawdust generally attract 5% GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the HSN code for timber logs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timber logs supplied as wood in the rough generally fall under HSN 4403 and attract 18% GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the HSN code for teak wood and other timber the same?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily. The classification depends on both the wood species and the product&#8217;s condition. Rough logs, sawn planks and shaped timber may fall under different headings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manage Wood Billing and Inventory with myBillBook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timber traders, wholesalers and furniture manufacturers often deal with multiple wood types, sizes and product categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the correct HSN code helps businesses maintain accurate GST invoices and product records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/mybillbook.in\/\">myBillBook billing software<\/a>, businesses can create GST invoices, manage inventory and track product-wise sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cbic-gst.gov.in\/hindi\/gst-goods-services-rates.html\">CBIC \u2013 GST Goods and Services Rates<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gstcouncil.gov.in\/\">GST Council<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dgft.gov.in\/\">DGFT \u2013 Indian Trade Classification<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Last Reviewed: 16 October 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HSN code for wood falls under Chapter 44, but the exact code depends on the type and processing of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"parent":7471,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7321","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wood HSN Code &amp; GST Rate in India | myBillBook<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find wood HSN codes and GST rates in India.
