HS code for Sawn coniferous wood: 4407.19

Wood, coniferous species, other than of pine (Pinus spp.) or fir (Abies spp.) or spruce (Picea spp.), sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6mm.

Classification of sawn coniferous wood under HS 4407.19

Sawn coniferous wood of species other than pine, fir, or spruce is classified under HS code 4407.19. This code serves as a residual category within the coniferous section of heading 4407. Heading 4407 covers wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, with a thickness exceeding 6 mm. While specific subheadings exist for pine (4407.11) and fir/spruce (4407.12), 4407.19 captures all other softwoods, such as cedar, larch, hemlock, and redwood. The classification is based on the wood being from a coniferous tree (gymnosperm) and not falling into the previously mentioned specific categories. The wood can be rough, planed, sanded, or finger-jointed. This category is essential for the international trade of specialty softwoods used in outdoor construction, siding, and shingles, where the specific properties of species like cedar or larch are required. Accurate classification under 4407.19 requires the exclusion of the Pinus, Abies, and Picea genera.

Codes often confused with 4407.19

Common mistake. This code is often confused with 4407.11 (Pine) or 4407.12 (Fir and Spruce). It is critical to identify the exact species to avoid using the residual category 4407.19 incorrectly when a specific code exists. It is also sometimes confused with 4403.26 (Other coniferous logs) if the wood has not been sawn lengthwise. If the wood is treated with paint, stains, or preservatives, it might still fall here, but some jurisdictions require classification under 4407.11-12 if the species matches those specific codes regardless of treatment.

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).
