Use HS-6 440132 when importing or exporting wood briquettes made from sawdust and wood waste. For example, if you're shipping compressed wood briquettes for heating, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers wood briquettes that are agglomerated from sawdust and wood waste. In contrast, HS-6 440130 covers wood in logs or billets, which are not processed into briquettes.
