Spruce Pulpwood Logs
Rough-cut logs from Picea spp. spruce trees, stripped of bark and sapwood, specifically harvested and prepared for pulping in paper production. These coniferous logs meet HTS 4403.24.0104 criteria as pulpwood due to their rough state and designation for pulp processing, not further manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designated for sawmill use rather than pulping
Pulpwood specifically excludes sawlogs; sawmill-destined fir/spruce rough wood falls under separate statistical suffix.
If sawn or chipped lengthwise and over 6mm thick
Processing beyond rough state moves it from Chapter 44 heading 4403 to sawn wood classifications.
If in chips or wood waste form from processing
Wood chips from coniferous pulpwood preparation classified as fuel wood or waste rather than rough logs.
