Import Tips

Verify wax content exceeds 3% and document sawdust sourcing to distinguish from standard wood pellets under 4401.31/4401.32

Provide lab analysis or manufacturer specs confirming composition for CBP classification; misclassification as fuel wood risks penalties

Ensure packaging labels 'artificial fire log' to avoid scrutiny as agglomerated sawdust; check for hazardous material shipping regs
