HS code · 6-digit subheading

HS Code 4403.25 – 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 the smallest cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more

HS code 4403.25 is the 6-digit subheading for 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 the smallest cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more. It is used for large Douglas fir logs, large larch logs, untreated hemlock timber, rough cedar logs and structural coniferous logs.

What HS 4403.25 covers

This category covers rough, untreated coniferous timber, excluding specific types like pine, fir, or spruce if they fall under other explicit subheadings (4403.21 or 4403.23), but crucially, where the smallest cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more. This signifies larger logs or roughly squared timber, often destined for structural applications, high-volume sawmills for lumber production, or veneer manufacturing. Countries with extensive coniferous forests, such as the USA, Canada, and various European nations like Germany and Austria, are primary exporters. Importers are typically construction-heavy economies or those with significant wood processing industries, like China, Japan, and Germany, requiring substantial raw material. Compliance with international timber regulations like EUDR and EUTR is paramount, focusing on the legality and sustainability of sourcing, alongside robust pest control measures for international shipments to prevent ecological impact.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
