Wood; for fuel, sawdust and wood waste and scrap, not agglomerated

HS v2017 Code: 440140

About wood; for fuel, sawdust and wood waste and scrap, not agglomerated

HS code 440140 covers a crucial segment of the wood and forestry industry - the trade of wood for fuel, sawdust, and other wood waste and scrap that is not agglomerated. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing a sustainable source of energy and raw materials for various downstream industries, such as 440121 Wood in chips or particles, 440122 Wood in chips or particles, and 440130 Wood waste and scrap, not agglomerated.

Production process

The production techniques for the goods covered under HS code 440140 typically involve the collection, processing, and distribution of wood waste and scrap. This can include the harvesting of wood from forestry operations, the processing of sawmill byproducts, and the collection of discarded wood from construction and demolition sites. The wood is then sorted, chipped, or shredded to the desired size and form, ready for use as fuel or further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 440140 are primarily wood-based raw materials, such as logs, branches, and other forestry residues. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as chippers, shredders, and transportation vehicles, are necessary to collect, process, and distribute the wood waste and scrap. Labor, energy, and infrastructure to support the collection and distribution network are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 440140 are wood for fuel, sawdust, and other wood waste and scrap that is not agglomerated. These materials are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 440121 Wood in chips or particles, 440122 Wood in chips or particles, and 440130 Wood waste and scrap, not agglomerated, which use them as raw materials for the production of wood-based products, energy generation, or further processing.
