The total import value reached USD 1.1 billion, falling 11.4% year-on-year but increasing 19% from February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"799\">March log imports stood at 3.17 million m\u00b3, down 6% from March 2024 but 21% higher than in February. Average unit prices for logs fell by 7%. Lumber imports reached 2.29 million m\u00b3, a 14% decline year-on-year, though also up 21% month-on-month, with a 2% rise in unit prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"801\" data-end=\"1026\">New Zealand, Russia, and Thailand remained China\u2019s top three suppliers. Imports from New Zealand rose 7% to 1.796 million m\u00b3, while Russian shipments fell 2% to 1.28 million m\u00b3. Imports from Thailand dropped 8% to 460,000 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1349\">A notable shift occurred in trade with the US: shipments fell 23% year-on-year to just 195,000 m\u00b3. Following the decision to suspend US logs imports, and combined with ongoing tariff tensions, US wood exports to China are expected to drop to zero in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1617\">In terms of product categories, softwood logs and lumber accounted for 3.7 million m\u00b3 in March, down 8.6% year-on-year. Imports of softwood logs alone were 2.31 million m\u00b3 (\u20132% YoY, +27% MoM), while softwood lumber reached 1.12 million m\u00b3 (\u201316.7% YoY, +24% MoM).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1891\">Among other species, eucalyptus log imports dropped 45% to 52,900 m\u00b3, white ash lumber declined 9%, and radiata pine imports (logs and lumber combined) rose 5.7% to 1.73 million m\u00b3. Imports of red pine and Mongolian pine grew 13%, while Douglas fir volumes fell 12.7%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2282\">In the first quarter of 2025, China\u2019s total imports of logs and lumber reached 13.9 million m\u00b3, down 10.6% from the same period in 2024. Log imports fell 9% to 8.07 million m\u00b3, and lumber imports declined 13% to 5.84 million m\u00b3. Despite month-on-month increases in February and March, the overall downward trend reflects weak demand, holiday-related production halts, and policy changes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2284\" data-end=\"2541\">The full impact of the US wood ban is expected to reshape sourcing strategies in China, accelerating the shift to suppliers such as New Zealand, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. However, tighter supply could also lead to price increases for some species.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to China Customs data, the country imported 5.45 million cubic meters of logs and lumber in March 2025\u2014down 9% year-on-year but up 21% compared to February.
