Overview
HTS Code 4401.39 encompasses wood waste and scrap that has been agglomerated into forms other than pellets or briquettes. This category is specifically for processed wood waste that does not fit into the defined categories of wood pellets (4401.31.00.00) or wood briquettes (4401.32.00.00). The agglomeration process here results in forms that are distinct from the compressed, cylindrical shapes of pellets or the typically larger, block-like forms of briquettes.
The key distinction of 4401.39 lies in the shape and form of the agglomerated wood waste. While siblings 4401.31 and 4401.32 are reserved for specifically recognized pellet and briquette formats, this category captures other agglomerated shapes. This includes materials that might be formed into logs or other consolidated structures through the use of binders or compression, but which do not meet the precise physical characteristics of pellets or briquettes.
Subdivisions within 4401.39 further refine this classification. For instance, 4401.39.20.00 specifically covers artificial fire logs composed primarily of wax and sawdust, often with other additives, which represent a particular end-use and composition. The broader "Other" subcategory (4401.39.42) exists to capture any remaining agglomerated wood waste and scrap that does not qualify for the more specific subcategories or the sibling categories, provided it meets the general criteria of being agglomerated wood waste.
