About wood tar; wood tar oils; wood creosote; wood naphtha; vegetable pitch; brewers' pitch and similar preparations based on rosin, resin acids or on vegetable pitch

HS code 3807 covers a diverse range of products derived from wood and vegetable sources. These materials have a wide array of applications, from wood preservation to brewing, and play a vital role in various industries. Understanding the characteristics and uses of these products is crucial for businesses involved in the import/export of chemicals, construction materials, and related goods.

Production process

The production of the items under HS code 3807 typically involves the distillation or extraction of various compounds from wood, plant resins, and other natural sources. Wood tar, for instance, is obtained by the destructive distillation of wood, while wood creosote is derived from the distillation of wood tar. Vegetable pitch and brewers' pitch are produced by processing resin-based materials, such as rosin and resin acids, through various chemical and physical methods.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 3807 goods include raw materials such as wood, plant resins, and other natural sources. Specialized equipment for distillation, extraction, and processing is also necessary. Depending on the specific product, additional chemicals, solvents, and refining agents may be used in the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 3807 have a wide range of applications. Wood tar and wood tar oils are used in wood preservation, as well as in the production of 2707 Oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; similar products in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents and 2803 (Carbon (carbon blacks and other forms of carbon not elsewhere specified or included)) under HS codes 2707 and 2803, respectively. Wood creosote and wood naphtha find use in the production of 2909 (Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides (whether or not chemically defined), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives) under HS code 2909. Vegetable pitch and brewers' pitch are utilized in various applications, such as the manufacture of 3806 Rosin and resin acids, and derivatives thereof; rosin spirit and rosin oils; run gums under HS code 3806.
