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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If strictly meeting pellet dimensions and definition
Pellets with diameter ≤25mm and length ≤100mm from qualifying by-products fall under specific 4401.31 subheading.
If formed as briquettes with cross-section >25mm
Briquettes from same wood waste but larger dimensions are classified separately from pellets.
If not agglomerated (loose wood waste)
Unagglomerated sawdust and wood chips remain under non-agglomerated waste heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify binder content does not exceed 3% by weight with lab testing documentation to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin proving wood waste origin from mechanical processing or furniture-making industries
• Check for ISPM 15 compliance if pellets are used in packaging to prevent phytosanitary issues
