Classification of Forest Products

This classification is designed to cover the wood and wood-based products for which Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) collect statistics on a regular basis. Included is wood taken from forests or from trees outside the forest, bark and cork; charcoal; wood and wood-based materials resulting from the first processing of the wood available from forest operations (including sawnwood, railway sleepers, veneer sheets, wood pulp and wood residues); and materials resulting from further processing of some of these materials (e.g. wood-based panels, paper and paperboard); recovered paper and recoverable wood products.

The 1982 revision included cross-references to SITC and HS. The classifications has not been revised since 1982.
