Walnut Cabinet Shavings Pellets from Mexico
Walnut cabinet shavings pellets are compressed biomass fuel made from walnut wood shavings generated during furniture-making. The pellets are agglomerated by compression and fall under tariff item 4401.39.00 as 'other' agglomerated sawdust and wood waste, since they do not meet the specific size criteria for wood pellets in subheading 4401.31. Their low moisture content ensures efficient combustion for heating applications.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pellets are declared as agglomerated wood waste, not wood pellets, to avoid misclassification under subheading 4401.31
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Keep records of the compression process and binder content (≤3%) for CBSA verification
