About wood; coniferous species, of pine (pinus spp.), in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated, of which the smallest cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more

HS code 440321 covers the trade of coniferous pine wood in its rough, unprocessed state. 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. The production and export of this type of wood is an important economic activity for many countries with significant coniferous forest resources.

Production process

The production of HS code 440321 wood involves the harvesting and initial processing of pine trees. This typically includes felling the trees, removing the bark and sapwood, and roughly squaring the logs to the required dimensions. The wood may also be left untreated, without any further processing beyond the initial preparation. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the local forestry practices and the end-use requirements of the wood.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 440321 wood are the pine trees themselves, which are a renewable natural resource. Harvesting equipment, such as chainsaws and logging machinery, are also essential inputs. Additionally, transportation infrastructure, such as roads and railways, are required to move the raw wood from the forests to processing facilities and export hubs.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440321 is rough, unprocessed pine wood in its natural state. This material is then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 440710 Wood; coniferous, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 441011 (Particle board and similar board (for example, oriented strand board and waferboard) of wood or other ligneous materials, whether or not agglomerated with resins or other organic binding substances), and 441213 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, among others.

Revisions to 440321

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 440321. The most recent 1 version of this code (440321) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
