Last updated: April 2026 dataCanada overwhelmingly dominates US imports of large-dimension fir and spruce roundwood, reflecting the geographic proximity of British Columbia's coastal and interior forests and the long-standing cross-border timber trade. The five 10-digit lines under this heading separate spruce logs and timber (4403230135) from fir logs and timber (4403230142), with additional lines for poles/piles/posts including telephone and electric power poles, and a residual category (4403230165). Spruce-pine-fir (SPF) is one of North America's most commercially significant softwood groupings for structural lumber, and large-dimension roundwood in this heading feeds primary sawmill operations. Finland and France are minor secondary suppliers.

No. Despite its common name, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is not a true fir (Abies spp.) and is classified under the 'other coniferous' headings โ 440325 for cross-sections of 15 cm or more (line 4403250140) and 440326 for smaller dimensions. True firs (Abies) and spruce (Picea) are the species covered by 440323.
Beyond standard commercial invoice and bill of lading, importers must file a Lacey Act plant declaration identifying the genus/species and province of harvest. Canadian softwood logs may also be subject to softwood lumber trade measures depending on the specific product form and applicable trade remedy orders in effect at the time of entry; confirming current order scope with a licensed customs broker before shipment is recommended.
