Wood; coniferous species n.e.c in headings 4403.21 or 4403.23, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated, of which any cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more

HS v2017 Code: 440325

About wood; coniferous species n.e.c in headings 4403.21 or 4403.23, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated, of which any cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more

HS code 440325 covers a significant segment of the global timber trade, encompassing coniferous wood species that are not classified under headings 4403.21 or 4403.23. This category of rough, untreated wood with a minimum cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm plays a crucial role in various industries, from construction and furniture-making to the production of pulp and paper.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 440325 typically involves harvesting mature coniferous trees, such as pine, fir, or spruce, from managed forests or plantations. The trees are then stripped of bark and sapwood, if necessary, and roughly squared or left in their natural round form, depending on the intended use. The wood is then dried, either naturally or through kiln-drying, to reduce moisture content and improve its durability and workability.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of goods under HS code 440325 are the coniferous tree species themselves, which are sourced from sustainable forestry operations. Additionally, specialized logging and sawmilling equipment, such as chainsaws, skidders, and sawmills, are required to harvest, transport, and process the raw timber. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are also necessary to power the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 440325 are primarily used as raw materials for a wide range of industries. The rough, untreated coniferous wood can be further processed into 440710 Wood; coniferous, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 440320 Wood; coniferous, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, or 440710 Wood; coniferous, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, among other products. These materials are then used in the construction, furniture, and pulp and paper industries.
