Birch Faggots for Outdoor Fires from Japan
Birch faggots are bundles of twigs and small branches from birch trees, a non-coniferous species, tied together for use as kindling or fire starters. They are classified under tariff item 4401.12.00 as non-coniferous fuel wood in twigs or faggots form, as the chapter note extends the scope to similar woody materials.

Import Tips
• Verify that the birch faggots are free from pests and disease, as CFIA may require inspection for plant health
• Classify them accurately as non-coniferous fuel wood in faggot form, not as wood waste, to avoid misclassification
• Keep records of the wood's origin and species to support your customs declaration
