Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3807 when importing products like wood tar or wood creosote, commonly used in preservatives or as industrial solvents. If you're shipping wood tar oils for use in coatings or sealants, this heading applies.

To determine if HS-6 380700 is the right classification, consider the specific product's composition. If your product is primarily wood tar or a similar preparation based on rosin or resin acids, it fits here. However, if you're dealing with a product that has a different base or application, you may need to explore other headings.

When distinguishing between products under this heading, focus on the primary ingredient. For example, wood naphtha is specifically derived from wood and has distinct uses compared to vegetable pitch, which is plant-based and often used in food applications. Ensure your product's description aligns with the intended use to avoid misclassification.
