Import Tips & Compliance

Measure briquette dimensions precisely; >25mm cross-section disqualifies from pellet classification—retain production specs

Declare exact wood species mix; 'other' non-coniferous waste justifies 4401.39.42 over coniferous headings

Ensure no chemical additives beyond minimal binder; residue analysis prevents reclassification as waste under Chapter 36
