Product Name: Wood sawdust and waste compressed fuel cylinders
Classification HS Code: 4401.39.20.00, 4401.32.00.00, 4401.39.42.90, 4401.39.42.10, 4401.39.42.20
🔍 HS Code Classification Overview
All the listed HS codes fall under Chapter 44 of the Harmonized System, which covers "Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal." Specifically, they are classified under Heading 4401, which includes "Wood in the form of logs, planks, boards, etc., of a width of 6 cm or more, and wood in the form of blocks, slabs, etc., of a width of 6 cm or more." However, the detailed descriptions indicate that these codes are for compressed wood products such as sawdust, wood chips, and waste compressed into fuel cylinders, blocks, or pellets.
📌 Tariff Summary (as of now)
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff (General): 25.0%
- Special Tariff (after April 11, 2025): 30.0%
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% + 25.0% + 30.0%)
⚠️ Important Note: The 30.0% additional tariff will be imposed after April 11, 2025. If your product is imported after this date, this rate will apply.
📌 Key Considerations for Customs Compliance
- Material Verification: Confirm that the product is indeed compressed wood waste (sawdust, chips, or shavings) and not a finished wood product or furniture.
- Form and Shape: Ensure the product is compressed into blocks, pellets, or cylinders as this is a key factor in classification.
- Certifications: Check if any environmental or quality certifications are required for import (e.g., FSC, ISO, or specific country regulations).
- Unit Price: Be aware that tariff rates may vary based on the unit price or value of the product, especially if it falls under a different category due to valuation.
- Documentation: Maintain proper commercial invoices, packing lists, and product specifications to support the HS code classification.
📌 Proactive Advice for Importers
- Double-check the product description to ensure it aligns with the HS code description (e.g., "compressed fuel cylinders" vs. "wood blocks").
- Monitor the April 11, 2025 deadline for the special tariff and plan your import schedule accordingly.
- Consult a customs broker or expert if the product is borderline between different HS codes (e.g., 4401 vs. 4402 or 4403).
- Keep records of all documentation and product samples for audit purposes.
