Resolution No. 2204 of 29 December 2025
Higher export customs duties on beams and sawn timber made from coniferous wood and valuable hardwood species such as oak, beech, and ash, have been extended for three more years through 31 December 2028. The resolution to that effect has been signed.
The resolution will keep in place restrictions on unprocessed timber exports, for which sawn timber serves as a cover, and ensure steady supplies of raw materials to domestic producers.
Higher rates apply to exports of certain timber materials with moisture content over 22 percent that are more than 10 cm thick and wide. Thus, export duties on beams made from coniferous wood amount to €200 per cubic metre, from beech €250, from ash €300, and from oak €370.
Exports of sawn timber made from coniferous wood will be levied at a rate of 10 percent, but not less than €13 per cubic metre; for oak 10 percent, but not less than €15 per cubic metre; and for beech and ash 10 percent, but not less than €50 per cubic metre.
These restrictions on timber exports have been in effect since 2022.
The signed document amends Government Resolution No. 2068 of 27 November 2021.
