U.S. exports of Beech Wood in the Rough, Cross-Section 15 cm or More (HS 440393) totaled $4K in August 2026, exported to 1 country.
Last updated: August 2026 dataDimensional threshold is the defining classification criterion here: beech logs and roughly squared timber qualify under this heading only when at least one cross-sectional dimension reaches 15 cm or more, distinguishing large-diameter sawlog-grade material from smaller-dimension stock. Germany is the sole recorded US supplier at this heading, reflecting Central Europe's dominance in beech timber production and the species' importance to the European furniture and flooring industries. Importers should measure and document cross-section dimensions carefully, as a single shipment may straddle the 15 cm boundary and require splitting between this heading (4403930100) and heading 440394.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP applies the threshold to any cross-sectional dimension of the piece — meaning if either the width or thickness of a roughly squared piece is 15 cm or more, it falls under 440393. For round logs, the diameter at the small end is typically the reference measurement. Importers should document measurements at the time of loading to support classification.
Large-diameter beech is primarily sought by sawmills supplying the furniture, flooring, and interior joinery sectors, where wide, clear boards command a premium. Beech is also used in tool handles and steam-bent components. Because Germany is the primary source, supply can be affected by European forest health conditions, including bark beetle pressures that have periodically disrupted beech harvests.
