U.S. exports of birch wood in the rough, other (cross-section under 15 cm) (HS 440396) totaled $10K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Smaller-dimension birch roundwood — including pulpwood billets (4403960123) and other sub-15 cm pieces (4403960130 and 4403960140) — feeds the pulp and paper, engineered wood panel, and biomass energy sectors. Canada is the dominant and essentially sole recorded US supplier, consistent with the vast boreal birch resource base in eastern and central Canada that has long supplied North American pulp mills. The three-way split at the 10-digit level separates pulpwood from poles/posts and from other small-dimension material, so accurate classification depends on the physical form and intended processing of the shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each distinct product form should be classified under its applicable 10-digit line: pulpwood billets under 4403960123, and other small-dimension birch under 4403960130 or 4403960140 as appropriate. Importers should segregate and document each category in the commercial invoice and packing list to support accurate entry.
Yes — the 15 cm cross-section rule operates consistently across the nonconiferous wood headings in Chapter 44. For birch, any piece where at least one cross-sectional dimension is 15 cm or more belongs under heading 440395; pieces where all dimensions fall below 15 cm are classified under 440396. The measurement methodology and documentation expectations are the same as for other species in the chapter.
