The ISIN of iShares Global Timber & Forestry UCITS ETF AccumUSD is IE0003ZXNJY5. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
iShares Global Timber & Forestry UCITS ETF AccumUSD (WOOE) charges a total expense ratio of 0.65% a year, about $65 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
Measured against Global equity (proxy: VT), WOOE lagged by 15.38% a year — that is the cost you actually bore, versus a headline TER of 0.65%. It trailed by MORE than its stated fee, so trading costs, cash drag or withholding tax added to what the TER implies. This realised tracking difference is the honest number to compare funds on; the TER alone is not.
No — iShares Global Timber & Forestry UCITS ETF AccumUSD (WOOE) is an accumulating share class, so dividends received from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund instead of being paid out. You realise that income as capital growth when you sell, which in many jurisdictions defers the tax event rather than triggering one each distribution.

The fund-level 15% is deducted before NAV and is not reclaimable by you. Its shares also sit outside US estate tax, which applies to US-situs assets above $60,000 for non-resident aliens.
