Cedar Shaving Pellets from United States
Cedar shaving pellets are cylindrical agglomerated fuel or bedding products made from cedar cutter shavings from woodworking shops. Although they resemble pellets, they are classified under tariff item 4401.39.00 as 'other' agglomerated forms because their dimensions or production method place them outside the specific pellet subheading. The natural insect-repellent properties of cedar make them popular for animal bedding and heating.

Import Tips
• Measure the pellet dimensions carefully; if they meet the subheading 4401.31 criteria, classification may shift
• Provide a detailed product description to CBSA, including the wood type and agglomeration method
• If used for animal bedding, ensure compliance with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) import requirements
