Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cylindrical pellets with diameter ≤25mm and length ≤100mm
Pure wood pellets from shavings meeting exact dimensional specs shift to specific pellet subheading, separating from general shavings agglomerates.
If formed into briquettes >25mm cross-section
Larger briquette dimensions from shavings qualify for dedicated briquette subheading rather than general shavings category.
If not agglomerated, sold as loose shavings
Unagglomerated wood shavings for fuel fall under non-agglomerated subcategory, avoiding the agglomerated shavings provisions.
