Fir Wood Particles
Mixed particle sizes from fir trees (Abies spp.), including shavings and small chips, used in residential wood stoves and industrial furnaces. HTS 4401.21.00.00 covers coniferous wood in chips or particles form for fuel applications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pelletized (diameter ≤25mm, length ≤100mm)
Compression into qualifying cylindrical pellets with minimal binder moves coniferous particles to dedicated pellet subheading.
If mechanically pulped without chemicals
Coniferous wood particles processed into newsprint pulp classify under Chapter 48 as mechanical wood pulp.
If reconstituted into pressed fuel logs
Particles agglomerated with binders into composite fuel logs fall under 4415 for pressed wood products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct species testing if mixed conifer sources; 'S-P-F' mixtures may reference 4407.13 notes but remain 4401.21 for particles
• Avoid packaging that suggests retail lumber use, which could trigger reclassification
• Declare exact particle size distribution to confirm not qualifying as pellets under 4401.31

Pine Wood Chips
Roughly cut chips from pine trees (Pinus spp.), a coniferous species, used primarily as fuel in industrial boilers or biomass energy production. Classified under HTS 4401.21.00.00 as coniferous wood in chips or particles, not agglomerated into pellets or briquettes.
Spruce Sawdust
Fine particles generated from sawmilling spruce (Picea spp.) logs, a coniferous softwood, commonly burned as biomass fuel. Falls under HTS 4401.21.00.00 as coniferous wood waste in particle form, whether or not agglomerated but not meeting pellet/briquette specs.
Larch Wood Chips
Chips from larch (Larix spp.) trees, valued for high BTU content in biofuel production. As coniferous wood particles, precisely matches HTS 4401.21.00.00 criteria for fuel-grade wood waste.
