Wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared
In plain English
This category covers raw wood that has been stripped of bark or sapwood or roughly squared, regardless of whether it is treated with preservatives or left untreated. The items are sorted by tree type, such as conifers, tropical woods, oak, beech, birch, poplar, aspen, and eucalyptus. For certain species, the classification further depends on the wood’s thickness, distinguishing between pieces with a smallest cross-section of 15 centimeters or more and those with any dimension less than 15 centimeters.
