BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Classification scope of profiled wood

CN code 440921 covers pine wood (Pinus spp.) continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces, whether or not planed, sanded, or end-jointed. Profiled wood is sawnwood that has undergone additional mechanical processing to create tongues, grooves, chamfers, or other profiles. Typical products include skirting boards, wall panelling, floorboards with interlocking systems, and window profiles. Classification requires that the wood is from pine species and features profiling on at least one edge or face. Pine wood merely sawn or planed without profiling is classified under heading 4407.

EUDR, FLEGT and phytosanitary requirements

Import of profiled pine wood is subject to EUDR Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, which since 30 December 2024 requires a due diligence statement confirming the wood does not originate from deforestation. Pine is one of the most widely traded timber species, and imports from high deforestation risk countries face enhanced scrutiny. Wood from FLEGT partner countries requires a FLEGT licence. Phytosanitary control is mandatory under Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, checking for quarantine organisms including the pine wood nematode and bark beetles.

Trade practice and documentation

When clearing profiled pine wood under CN code 440921, an EUDR statement, phytosanitary certificate, origin documents, and standard customs documents are required. Importers should check TARIC for applicable duty rates and preferences. Wood transport requires moisture protection and should use closed containers. Profiled pine wood is widely used in construction and interior finishing. European standards EN 14915 for wall cladding and EN 13226 for solid wood flooring may apply. Import from Russia is subject to EU sanctions restrictions.

Phytosanitary and EUDR requirements for pine wood profiled

Importing pine wood profiled under CN 4409 21 may be subject to phytosanitary inspection and EUDR compliance. Wood must be free from quarantine pests. Importers should hold documentation proving the legality of timber sourcing. Standard customs duty and import VAT apply at destination country rates.

Frequently asked questions

Is pine wall panelling subject to EUDR?
Yes, pine wall panelling as a wood product is fully subject to EUDR Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 since 30 December 2024. The importer must submit a due diligence statement confirming legal harvesting and no link to deforestation of the timber raw material.
What phytosanitary risks apply to pine wood imports?
Key risks include pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), bark beetles of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus, and blue stain fungi. Pine wood from nematode regions requires heat treatment. The phytosanitary certificate must confirm freedom from EU quarantine organisms.
How to distinguish profiled wood 4409 from sawn 4407?
Profiled wood under heading 4409 has mechanical processing creating a profile on edge or surface, such as tongues, grooves, or chamfers. Wood merely sawn or planed without additional profiling is classified under heading 4407. Profiling is an additional operation beyond basic sawing.
What documents are needed to import pine wood profiled CN 4409 21?
Importing pine wood profiled CN 4409 21 may require a phytosanitary certificate, EUDR due diligence statement, and certificate of origin for preferential rates. Exact requirements depend on the country of export.
