Import Tips

• Verify pellet dimensions (diameter ≤25mm, length ≤100mm) and binder content ≤3% via lab testing to confirm 4401.31 eligibility if applicable, avoiding misclassification

• Provide mill certificates documenting wood source as non-coniferous waste/scrap and agglomeration process to support 4401.39.42 declaration

• Watch for contamination with treated wood; fumigation certificates required if IPPC standards apply for wood fuel imports
