The application of trade change tariff policies has attracted particular attention in recent decades, especially in developing countries. Due to the increasing demand for wood products in the country and the limited domestic resources, timber and wood products import is very important. Among the domestic policies that are evident in the timber market, there are tariff and non-tariff barriers. In this study, the effects of reducing timber and wood tariffs on GDP and imports of economic sectors have been evaluated based on a computable general equilibrium model. This model is based on the microeconomic Data Matrix of 2016. The results indicated that import tariffs for timber and timber imports increased imports of wood, wood products, GDP and welfare. Therefore, timber import tariffs are recommended based on a time schedule. In this program, it is necessary to consider some issues such as relationships between wood types and the possibility of adaptation of affiliated industries.
