In comparison to HS, the new classification provides more detailed
classification of primary and secondary wood products. Regarding to the
primary and secondary paper products the classification more or less follows

detailed classification of wood and paper products. CPC Ver.2.1 is more
oriented to industrial origin and takes into account also services; so it is more
suitable for System of National Accounts (SNA) and international comparisons.
