Plain-language overview
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.
When classifying wood products, it's essential to differentiate between forms. While HS-6 440133 deals with wood pellets, 440132 focuses on briquettes, which are typically larger and denser.
If you're dealing with agglomerated wood products for fuel, ensure you're clear on the product's form to avoid misclassification. Accurate classification can affect tariffs and compliance.
