HS v2022 Code: 440397

About wood; of poplar and aspen (populus spp.), in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, untreated

HS code 440397 covers the trade of poplar and aspen wood in its raw, unprocessed form. This industry is a crucial part of the global timber and forestry sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of wood-based products and industries. Poplar and aspen are fast-growing, versatile hardwood species that are in high demand for applications ranging from construction and furniture to pulp and paper production.

Production process

The production of poplar and aspen wood under HS code 440397 typically involves harvesting the trees from managed forests or plantations, either by felling or selective thinning. The logs are then transported to processing facilities, where they may be stripped of bark and sapwood, or roughly squared, but remain untreated and unprocessed beyond these initial steps.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of poplar and aspen wood under HS code 440397 include the poplar and aspen trees themselves, as well as the necessary forestry equipment and infrastructure for harvesting, transporting, and initial processing of the raw logs. This may include chainsaws, skidders, trucks, and sawmills or other primary processing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440397 is the raw, unprocessed poplar and aspen wood, which can then be consumed by a variety of other industries and HS codes. These may include 440710 Wood; in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, 440890 (Wood; including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled, continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed), and 441239 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood; other, with at least one outer ply of non-coniferous wood, among others.
