Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 440111 when importing or exporting coniferous wood fuel in logs, billets, or similar forms. For instance, if you're shipping pine logs intended for burning in a fireplace or wood stove, this is the correct code.
This code specifically applies to coniferous wood, which includes species like spruce, fir, and pine. In contrast, HS-6 440112 covers non-coniferous wood, such as hardwoods like oak or maple, which are also used for fuel but classified differently.
The 440111 line is focused on wood that is primarily used for fuel, whether in its natural state or agglomerated into forms like briquettes. If your product is processed into wood pellets, you would consider HS-6 440130 instead.
When classifying your product, consider the form and intended use. Logs and billets are typically larger pieces, while twigs and faggots are smaller bundles of wood, often used for kindling.
