About wood; of birch (betula spp.), 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 440395 covers the trade of rough, untreated birch wood with a cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm or more. This industry is a crucial part of the global timber and forestry sector, providing raw materials for a wide range of wood-based products and industries. Birch wood is valued for its strength, durability, and aesthetic properties, making it a popular choice for furniture, construction, and various other applications.

Production process

The production of birch wood covered under HS code 440395 typically involves harvesting mature birch trees from managed forests or plantations. The trees are then felled, de-barked, and roughly squared or left in the round, depending on the intended use. The wood may undergo minimal processing, such as drying or basic shaping, before being exported or transported to downstream industries for further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 440395 birch wood include mature birch trees, harvesting and logging equipment, and transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials to processing facilities or export hubs. Sustainable forest management practices, such as replanting and responsible harvesting, are also crucial inputs to ensure the long-term viability of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440395 is rough, untreated birch wood in various sizes and shapes. This material is then consumed by a range of industries, including 440710 Wood; in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, 440799 Wood; in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, n.e.c. in heading no. 4407, and 940161 Seats; with wooden frames, upholstered, as well as the construction and furniture manufacturing sectors.
