HS v2017 Code: 440139

About wood; for fuel, sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms; other than wood pellets

HS code 440139 covers a range of wood products used primarily as fuel or for the production of other wood-based materials. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader forestry and wood processing sectors, providing a valuable outlet for wood waste and byproducts that would otherwise be discarded. The agglomeration of these materials into logs, briquettes, pellets, and similar forms allows for more efficient storage, transportation, and utilization as a renewable energy source.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 440139 typically involves the collection and processing of various wood waste streams, including sawdust, wood chips, and other scrap materials. These raw materials are then compressed, extruded, or otherwise agglomerated into the desired form, such as logs, briquettes, or pellets. The specific techniques used may vary depending on the final product, but often involve the application of heat and pressure to bind the wood particles together.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440139 are the various wood waste and scrap materials generated by other forestry and wood processing activities. This can include sawdust, wood chips, shavings, and other byproducts from sawmills, furniture manufacturers, and other wood-based industries. In addition, specialized machinery and equipment for the agglomeration process, such as pellet mills or briquette presses, are necessary for the production of these wood fuel products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440139 are the agglomerated wood products, such as logs, briquettes, and pellets, which are used as a renewable fuel source. These products may be consumed by 440110 Wood in chips or particles or 440131 Wood pellets industries, as well as by households and commercial entities for heating and energy generation purposes.
