Sourcing this category from India
HS 44.03 covers wood in the rough — logs, whether or not barked or roughly squared. India is largely an importer of industrial roundwood to feed its mills, so this heading mainly concerns inbound raw timber rather than an Indian export line.
How to read this code
44.03 is the four-digit HS heading for wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many wood, cork & basketware lines — check our import guides for your market.
