U.S. imports of fir & spruce wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, over 6mm thick (HS 440712) totaled $43.7M in April 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Fir & Spruce Wood Sawn or Chipped Lengthwise, Over 6mm Thick paid $2.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.2% on $43.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Fir & Spruce Wood Sawn or Chipped Lengthwise, Over 6mm Thick imports of $43.7M in April 2026 ran 40% above the year-to-date monthly average of $31.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSawn and chipped fir and spruce lumber exceeding 6mm in thickness — including Sitka spruce, other spruce species, and true firs — is classified across eight 10-digit lines that distinguish species, surface condition, and processing method. Sweden leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany, Austria, and Finland, making European spruce-fir supply chains the dominant source for this category. The heading covers both finger-jointed (4407120001) and preservative-treated (4407120002) products, as well as Sitka spruce lines (4407120017 and 4407120018) that are particularly relevant for specialty applications such as musical instrument soundboards and aircraft-grade lumber. European spruce is widely used in construction framing and engineered wood products, and importers should verify grading standards, as European visual and machine-stress grades differ from North American equivalents.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No separate HTS line exists for musical-instrument-grade Sitka spruce — it falls under 4407120017 (rough) or 4407120018 (other) along with construction-grade material. However, the commercial invoice and entry documents should accurately describe the grade and intended use, as CBP may use this information to verify classification and value. Specialty grades command significantly higher prices, which affects customs valuation.
European grading standards (such as EN 1611 for softwood) differ from North American visual grading rules. While CBP does not require conformance to a specific grading standard for classification purposes, buyers and importers should ensure that grade descriptions on commercial documents correspond to the actual product, particularly when the lumber is destined for structural applications subject to US building codes that reference North American grade marks.
