About this product
France holds Europe's largest oak forests, managed publicly and privately, many PEFC-certified.
Commtora sources oak sawn timber from Centre & Burgundy, France, specified by grade, thickness and drying, and prices every offer as a landed cost to your port — FOB origin, freight, import duty for your market where due, and fees — against independent references where they exist. Payment terms and documents are agreed per contract.
Grades & specifications
Grading rules (NHLA for hardwoods, EN 1611 / Nordic Blue Book or JAS for softwoods, or strength classes such as C16/C24), thickness, width and length, KD with target moisture, surfacing, and chain-of-custody certificates where required.
How Commtora prices it
We compare against independent references for your market — such as customs import statistics where they exist — add freight, import duty for your market and fees to your port, and quote an origin offer per cubic metre on written terms.
Legality, EUDR and certification
Wood is in scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation for EU imports (from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators, 30 June 2027 for micro and small), and legality rules apply in other markets too, such as the US Lacey Act. Every lot needs harvest-legality documents and, for the EU, plot geolocation; FSC or PEFC certification and FLEGT licences (Indonesia, Ghana) are specified per contract. We do not trade timber from Myanmar, Russia or Belarus.
Frequently asked questions
How is timber priced — per m³ or per Hoppus m³?
Sawn timber is priced per true cubic metre (or per thousand board feet in North America). Logs are often quoted per Hoppus cubic metre, which is about 0.785 of the true volume, so always confirm the measure before comparing prices.
What is the HS code for oak sawn timber?
HS 4407.91 at six digits. The full tariff line and the duty depend on your market — confirm both for your import.
