Western Hemlock Logs
Rough-cut Western hemlock logs with a smallest cross-sectional dimension exceeding 15 cm, sourced from Pacific Northwest forests. These coniferous logs are typically stripped of bark and roughly squared for transport, classified under HTS 4403.25.0152 due to their hemlock species and size criteria.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sourced from mixed Western hemlock and fir stands
Mixed Hem-Fir stands where species proportions vary fall under 4407.14 per subheading note, not pure hemlock.
If cross-sectional dimension is less than 15 cm
Smaller dimension hemlock logs classify under the subheading for <15 cm cross-section.
If the wood is Pinus species like Ponderosa pine
Different coniferous species like pine shift to their specific subheadings within 4403.12.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests like hemlock woolly adelgid, required for all coniferous logs
• Verify cross-sectional measurements exceed 15 cm to avoid reclassification to smaller dimension subheadings
• Include species documentation as 'other hemlock' to distinguish from Hem-Fir mixes under 4407.14
