Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Tree Type is Crucial: The most important factor is determining whether the leaf wood chip originates from a coniferous or non-coniferous tree. This will dictate the correct HS code between
4401210000and4401220000. - Intended Use: While "leaf wood chip" suggests fuel, confirm the intended use. If it's not for fuel (e.g., for composting, landscaping), a different HS code might be more appropriate.
- Material Purity: Ensure the chips are primarily wood. Any significant contamination with other materials could affect the HS code.
- Documentation: You will need to provide documentation (e.g., supplier invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) to support your HS code declaration to customs.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025.
Disclaimer: This information is for guidance only. The final HS code determination rests with customs authorities. It is recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker or seek an official binding ruling from customs if you are unsure.
