Eucalyptus Pulpwood Logs from Canada
Rough-cut eucalyptus logs sourced from Eucalyptus spp. plantations, typically 4-8 feet in length and under 12 inches in diameter, intended specifically for pulping into paper products. Classified under HTS 4403.98.0023 as pulpwood because they are wood in the rough, not stripped of bark, and designated for pulp production rather than lumber or other uses.

Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Eucalyptus spp. via phytosanitary certificates to meet HTS 4403.98.0023 requirements and avoid reclassification
• Provide end-use documentation proving pulpwood designation, as logs suitable for sawmilling may shift to other subheadings
• Ensure compliance with ISPM 15 bark regulations; untreated bark on pulpwood can trigger fumigation demands at ports
