What HS 4407.91 covers
This HS code covers sawn or processed oak wood (Quercus spp.) thicker than 6mm, a globally prized temperate hardwood. Oak is renowned for its exceptional strength, durability, and distinctive grain patterns, making it a cornerstone in furniture manufacturing, high-quality flooring, cabinetry, and architectural millwork. Both European and American oak varieties are traded extensively, catering to diverse markets. Major importers include countries with robust furniture and construction industries, such as China, Vietnam, and various EU nations, while leading exporters are primarily temperate forest countries like the USA, France, Germany, and Ukraine. The trade in oak is mature but increasingly subject to sustainability concerns, with regulations like EUDR and EUTR influencing sourcing practices to combat illegal logging and promote responsible forest management.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
