Wood; for fuel, in chips or particles, non-coniferous, whether or not agglomerated

HS v2017 Code: 440122

About wood; for fuel, in chips or particles, non-coniferous, whether or not agglomerated

HS code 440122 covers the trade of non-coniferous wood in the form of chips or particles, primarily used as a fuel source. This industry plays a vital role in the global energy and forestry sectors, providing a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The production and trade of this wood product contribute significantly to the overall economy, particularly in regions with abundant forestry resources.

Production process

The production of wood chips or particles for fuel typically involves the mechanical processing of non-coniferous logs, branches, and other woody biomass. This process often includes chipping, shredding, or grinding the raw material into smaller, uniform pieces. The resulting chips or particles may then be further processed, such as through drying or compaction, to improve their energy density and handling characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 440122 wood products are non-coniferous trees and woody biomass. This can include a variety of species, such as 440121 Wood; for fuel, in chips or particles, coniferous, 440130 Wood; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms, and other non-coniferous forest resources. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as chippers, shredders, and compactors, are required to process the raw materials into the desired chip or particle form.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 440122 is non-coniferous wood chips or particles, which are used as a fuel source for various applications, including residential heating, industrial boilers, and power generation. These wood-based fuels may be consumed by industries covered under 2701 Coal; briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels manufactured from coal, 2703 Peat; including peat litter, whether or not agglomerated, and 2704 Coke and semi-coke of coal, of lignite or of peat, whether or not agglomerated; retort carbon, among others.
