HS code 4407.95 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, ash (Fraxinus spp.), sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, thicker than 6mm. It is used for sawn White Ash lumber, european Ash boards, ash flooring, ash veneer and ash tool handles.
What HS 4407.95 covers
This HS code covers sawn or processed ash wood (Fraxinus spp.) thicker than 6mm, a strong and elastic temperate hardwood. Ash is highly valued for its excellent shock resistance, flexibility, and straight grain, making it an ideal material for tool handles, sports equipment (e.g., baseball bats), and furniture where durability is paramount. Its light color and prominent grain pattern also make it popular for flooring and cabinetry. Both European and American ash varieties are traded internationally. Major importers include countries with manufacturing industries for sports goods, tools, and furniture, such as China, Vietnam, and various EU nations. Exporters are primarily temperate forest countries like the USA, Canada, and several European countries. The trade faces challenges from diseases like the emerald ash borer, making sustainable sourcing and EUDR/EUTR compliance critical for market access.

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).
