Domestic log grades
Domestic logs are graded pruned (P1, P2), structural (S1, S2, S3) and lower (L1, L2, L3) plus pulp. Prices are quoted in NZ$ per tonne, delivered to the mill. Because they settle by weight rather than JAS m³, they cannot be compared with export prices without documented density and grade factors. Source: MPI – Wood product markets data.

Note. Radiata pine log prices are indicative survey averages from MPI — export grades in NZ$/JAS m³ (FOB) and domestic grades in NZ$/tonne (delivered). They are historical and indicative only, exclude GST, and may not match the price paid on any individual sale. Export and domestic units are not interchangeable. New Zealand has no official log price by region or city. For information only.
