Once processed beyond rough state into sawn coniferous wood, it moves to Chapter 44 heading 4407.
If in chips, sawdust, or wood waste form for fuel
Coniferous wood waste and scrap, not suitable for pulp, falls under heading 4401 for fuel or particleboard use.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for coniferous wood imports to prevent invasive species
• Measure log dimensions to confirm they meet 'roughly squared' criteria; overly processed logs may shift to sawn wood classifications
• Document end-use as pulpwood to avoid reclassification as general construction timber under different HTS codes
