4401.39.42.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4401.39.42.90, encompasses wood waste and scrap that have been agglomerated into forms similar to logs, briquettes, or pellets, but do not fit into the more specific sibling categories of sawdust or shavings. This classification is for materials that are formed, compressed, or bound together from residual wood matter. The key characteristic is the agglomeration process, transforming loose wood particles into a more compact and manageable format for various uses.

Unlike the sibling categories of sawdust (4401.39.42.10) and shavings (4401.39.42.20), which refer to the specific physical form of the wood waste before any significant agglomeration, this "Other" category applies to materials where the original form is altered through processes such as pressing, heating, or binding with a binder to create a cohesive unit. Examples might include wood pellets created from a mixture of wood dust and fine particles, or compressed wood blocks formed from larger waste pieces.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on ensuring that any agglomerated wood waste or scrap that is not specifically sawdust or shavings is correctly placed here. Importers and exporters should verify that the material in question has undergone an agglomeration process and is not simply loose wood waste or scrap.
