Import Tips
• > Confirm the pellets do not meet the wood pellet definition in subheading note 1 (diameter ≤25 mm and length ≤100 mm); if they do, they may be classified under 4401.31.00
• Provide the binder percentage to the CBSA to confirm it is ≤3% by weight
• Verify the composition, as walnut shell may be considered a woody material under chapter note 6
