Last updated: April 2026 dataLarge-dimension birch logs and poles — where at least one cross-sectional measurement reaches 15 cm — are split at the 10-digit level between poles, piles, and posts (4403950127) and all other large-dimension birch (4403950130), a distinction relevant to buyers in the construction, veneer, and plywood industries. Canada is the leading supplier, with China also present, reflecting both North American boreal birch supply and re-export or plantation-origin flows from Asia. Lacey Act declarations are required, and the poles/piles/posts subdivision means end-use intent can influence classification when pieces are borderline between structural and sawlog grades.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Poles, piles, and posts are round or minimally processed pieces intended for structural or utility use — fence posts, utility poles, foundation piles — rather than for sawing into lumber or peeling into veneer. If a birch log is clearly destined for a sawmill or veneer plant, it would typically fall under the NESOI line (4403950130). When end-use is ambiguous, the physical form and any accompanying commercial documentation are the primary classification guides.
Rough birch logs from Canada generally enter under USMCA, which provides preferential tariff treatment for qualifying originating goods. However, importers should verify origin criteria and obtain appropriate certificates of origin, as the preferential rate applies only when USMCA rules of origin are met. Consult a licensed customs broker for current duty treatment.
