About heading 4401

Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms; wood in chips or particles; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms

Heading 4401 covers wood in its raw fuel and residue forms: fuel wood in logs, billets, twigs or faggots, wood in chips or particles, and sawdust and wood waste and scrap. The heading first splits by form, then separates agglomerated goods (pellets, briquettes, fire logs) from loose scrap, and further splits fuel wood and chips by coniferous versus nonconiferous wood. Every line in this heading carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.
