Customs code · HS subheading 4403 99

Final code reached

Other unworked or roughly shaped wood

Including debarked or branched wood

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 4403 99 00 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers wood that is unworked, debarked, branched, or roughly shaped on two or four sides, when no more specific sibling description applies. It is for wood not otherwise named within this parent group.

Before you use the code

Check the facts that sit outside the code

The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.

Classify your own product, free Look up the current rates and rules
  1. The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
  2. Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
  3. Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.

On an import declaration

4403 99 00 00

The EU records document conditions on this code. What customs may ask for depends on where the goods come from, exactly what the product is and the customs procedure.

Proof of origin 2 conditions

If you claim a lower rate for goods from a country the EU has a trade agreement with, customs asks for proof of origin, for example a EUR.1 certificate or an origin declaration.

Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
  • Invoice declaration or origin declaration made out by any exporter on invoice or any other commercial document
  • Movement certificate EUR.1

Sanctions and restricted regions 7 conditions

Some conditions come from EU sanctions rules. They matter when the goods are linked to a country or region the EU restricts trade with.

Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
  • Goods not originating from or destined to Crimea or Sevastopol (Articles 2 and 2b.1 of Council Regulation (EU) No 692/2014)

  • Exemption for products intended for scientific purposes in accordance with Article 48(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031
