HS code for Sawn pine: 4407.11

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

Classification of sawn pine under HS 4407.11

Sawn pine is classified under HS code 4407.11 because it falls within Chapter 44, which covers wood and articles of wood. Specifically, heading 4407 applies to wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded, or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm. The subheading 4407.11 is reserved for coniferous wood of the pine species (Pinus spp.). This classification is determined by the botanical genus and the physical processing of the timber. To qualify, the wood must have undergone primary processing that results in flat surfaces, typically used for construction, furniture making, or packaging. The thickness requirement of over 6 mm is a critical threshold that distinguishes sawn timber from veneer sheets, which are classified under heading 4408. The classification remains the same regardless of whether the pine is rough-sawn or has been further processed by planing or sanding, provided it has not been shaped into specific profiles or moldings.

Codes often confused with 4407.11

Common mistake. Sawn pine is frequently misclassified under HS code 4403.11, which refers to pine wood in the rough, such as logs or poles that have not been sawn lengthwise. Another common error is using HS code 4409.10, which is intended for wood that has been continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, or beaded) along any of its edges or faces. If the pine is less than 6 mm thick, it must be classified under 4408.10 as veneer. Importers must ensure the botanical species is confirmed as Pinus spp. to avoid misclassification under 4407.12 (Fir or Spruce) or 4407.19 (Other Coniferous).

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).
