Mixed Hardwood Pellet Logs from China
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.

Import Tips
• Provide detailed photos and measurements of log dimensions to justify 'similar forms' classification
• Ensure supplier certifications trace waste to approved mechanical processing sources
• Use ventilated containers to prevent binder activation from humidity during transit
