Products classified under HTS 4401.39.42.90
Oak Wood Pellets
Cylindrical oak wood pellets made from sawdust and shavings of mechanical wood processing, compressed without exceeding 3% binder by weight. Diameter under 25mm and length under 100mm, qualifying as 'wood pellets' under subheading 4401.31 but classified here as 'other' agglomerated sawdust. Used primarily as eco-friendly fuel for pellet stoves and boilers.
Pine Sawdust Briquettes
Cubiform pine sawdust briquettes produced from furniture-making waste, agglomerated by compression with minimal binder. Minimum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 25mm per subheading definition, but classified as 'other' forms. Ideal for barbecue fuel and home heating.
Mixed Hardwood Pellet Logs
Agglomerated logs from mixed hardwood sawdust and chips, formed into log shapes rather than standard cylindrical pellets. Derived from wood transformation activities with ≤3% binder, fitting 'similar forms' but under 'other' due to non-standard shape. Used in large wood boilers.
Birch Wood Chip Briquettes
Polyhedral briquettes from birch wood chips of furniture industry waste, agglomerated with minimal binder. Cross-section >25mm qualifies as briquette form but falls under 'other' agglomerated waste. Popular for outdoor fireplaces and camping.
Maple Sawdust Fuel Pucks
Round puck-shaped agglomerated maple sawdust from sawmill waste, compressed for fireplace use. Unique puck form represents 'similar forms' of agglomerated wood waste, classified under 'other'. Burns cleanly with high BTU output.
Walnut Wood Waste Cubes
Cubic agglomerated walnut wood waste from cabinet-making, formed with light compression. Represents 'similar forms' of sawdust briquettes but unique size/shape lands in 'other' category. Premium fuel for gourmet smoking.
Cedar Shaving Pellets
Cylindrical pellets from cedar cutter shavings of woodworking shops, agglomerated for animal bedding and fuel. Borderline pellet size but classified as 'other' agglomerated forms. Natural insect-repellent properties.
Teak Wood Dust Logs
Longitudinally compressed teak wood dust from boat-building waste into fuel logs. Exotic hardwood waste agglomerated in log form qualifies as 'similar forms' under 'other'. High-value tropical hardwood fuel.
Poplar Chipboard Fuel Blocks
Rectangular blocks from poplar chipboard manufacturing waste, re-agglomerated for fireplace fuel. Industrial wood transformation by-product in 'similar forms'. Fast-burning lightweight fuel.
