Analysis

NAICS 113310 is the 2022 national industry for logging, part of 11331 (Logging). Census lists 11 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 7,261 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 42,916 people at an average annual payroll of $58,215 per employee (30th percentile of national industries). 62% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 9% and employment fell 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include cutting and transporting timber, cutting timber, log harvesting and logging, among 11 in all.

Its goods appear in 85 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 4403 (wood in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sap-…), 4404 (hoopwood; split poles; piles, pickets and stakes of wood…) and 4401 (fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, trucking timber without cutting timber are classified in 484220 (Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, Local) instead.
