HS v2017 Code: 440112

About wood; for fuel, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or similar forms, whether or not agglomerated, non-coniferous

HS code 440112 covers the trade of non-coniferous wood products used primarily as fuel. This industry plays a vital role in the global energy supply, providing a renewable and often locally-sourced alternative to fossil fuels. The production and trade of these wood products are particularly important in regions with abundant forestry resources, contributing to both economic development and sustainable energy practices.

Production process

The production of wood fuel products under HS code 440112 typically involves harvesting, processing, and packaging non-coniferous trees and woody biomass. This can include felling trees, cutting logs into billets or twigs, and bundling the materials into faggots or similar forms. In some cases, the wood may be further processed through drying, chipping, or pelletizing to improve its energy density and ease of handling and transportation.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 440112 industry are non-coniferous trees and woody plants, which are harvested from forests, plantations, or other sources of biomass. Specialized forestry equipment, such as chainsaws, skidders, and chippers, are used to extract and process the raw materials. Transportation infrastructure, such as trucks and railways, are also crucial for moving the wood fuel products to market.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 440112 industry is non-coniferous wood fuel, which can be used for residential, commercial, or industrial heating and power generation. These wood products may be consumed directly by 440101 Wood in the rough or 440200 Wood charcoal industries, or further processed into 440131 Wood pellets or other refined biofuels.
