4401.49.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4401.49.00, encompasses wood waste and scrap that has not been agglomerated into more processed forms like logs, briquettes, or pellets. This specifically includes materials such as wood shavings, which are distinct thin strips or curls of wood removed during planing or turning processes. It also covers other forms of wood waste and scrap that do not fit the definition of sawdust.

Crucially, this classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 4401.41.00.00, which is exclusively reserved for sawdust. Sawdust is characterized by its fine, powdery particle size resulting from sawing operations. The goods classified under 4401.49.00 are typically larger, more irregularly shaped pieces or thin slivers of wood.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of these unagglomerated wood wastes. The subcategory 4401.49.00.20 specifically addresses wood shavings. The remaining "Other" subcategory, 4401.49.00.90, is intended for all other forms of wood waste and scrap that are not sawdust or shavings, providing a residual classification for materials that do not fit into more specific definitions.
