The main tasks of the forensic commodity expertise of lumber in the process of determining their market value are: to classify the objects under study to one of the classification groups adopted in the field of logging; to determine the characteristics of the goods and measuring changes in their quality indicators that established in accordance with the methods of their processing and the raw materials from which they are made. Methodology. There is a certain algorithm for the forensic commodity examination of lumber. It uses organoleptic and instrumental methods to classify features, overall dimensions and generalized indicators of the number of objects of study are determined. The main attention is paid to the criteria for classification of lumber, due to the existence of a significant number of wood products, which depends on the method of wood processing and manufacturing of this products group. The next step of expertise is to identify price sources to determine the market value of wood and wood products. Results. Ensuring the correct commodity classification and evaluation of stolen wood products and classification of lumber is very relevant. The main tasks of the forensic commodity expertise of lumber in the process of determining their market value are: to classify the objects under study to one of the classification groups adopted in the field of logging; to determine the characteristics of the goods and measuring changes in their quality indicators that established in accordance with the methods of their processing and the raw materials from which they are made. The practical significance lies in ensuring the correct use in the process of commodity forensic examination of the price for wood on the terms of ex-forest warehouses, established in accordance with the law and taking into account the costs of the producer organization for harvesting. Wood is a natural raw material that comes in many forms and types. Each grade of material has its own specific physical properties.
