Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If smallest cross-section under 15 cm
Wood with cross-sectional dimension less than 15 cm falls under the general pine/fir/spruce/other coniferous rough wood subheading.
If sawn or chipped lengthwise, thickness over 6 mm
Once roughly squared and sawn to specified thickness, it moves from 'in the rough' to coniferous sawn wood classification.
If other coniferous species like larch or cedar
Excludes fir (Abies) and spruce (Picea); other coniferous species have separate subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming no pests, as required for all unprocessed coniferous wood imports
• Verify species identification through botanical documentation to ensure classification as Abies/Picea spp
• Measure and document smallest cross-sectional dimension to avoid reclassification to smaller size subheadings
