Products classified under HTS 4403.22.01.08
Radiata Pine Pulpwood Logs
Rough-cut logs from Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata) specifically harvested and prepared for pulp and paper production. These coniferous logs are stripped of bark but not further processed, measuring typically 10-20 feet in length with diameters of 6-12 inches. Classified under HTS 4403.22.0108 as 'pulpwood' of pine species due to their primary end use in wood pulp manufacturing.
Loblolly Pine Pulpwood Rounds
Unprocessed round logs from Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), debarked and delimbed for direct use in pulp mills. Common in Southeastern US forestry, these logs are 8-15 feet long and destined for kraft pulp processes. Fits HTS 4403.22.0108 as pine pulpwood, whether stripped of bark or sapwood.
Southern Yellow Pine Pulpwood Billets
Short-length pulpwood billets from Southern Yellow Pine species (Pinus spp.), roughly cut and bark-stripped for chipping into pulp. These 5-9 foot sections are standard for pulpwood harvesting in the US South. HTS 4403.22.0108 covers this as coniferous pine pulpwood in the rough.
Ponderosa Pine Pulpwood Logs
Debarked logs from Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) harvested from Western US forests for pulp production. These rough, unsquared logs are optimized for mechanical pulping processes. Precisely matches HTS 4403.22.0108 for other pine pulpwood.
Slash Pine Pulpwood Rounds
Rough rounds from Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii), a fast-growing Southern pine variety stripped of bark for pulp and particleboard production. Typically 40-60 cm diameter, these fit the 'pulpwood, other' specification of HTS 4403.22.0108.
