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 economic development and sustainable resource management.

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 may 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 transport.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 440112 industry are non-coniferous trees and woody biomass, which can be sourced from managed forests, plantations, or other land-clearing activities. Specialized machinery such as chainsaws, log splitters, and wood chippers are also required for the harvesting and processing of the raw materials. Additionally, labor, transportation, and packaging materials are important inputs for this industry.

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 energy generation. These wood products may be consumed by 440121 Wood; in chips or particles, non-coniferous, 440131 Wood; in chips or particles, coniferous, or 440199 Wood; in chips or particles, n.e.c. in heading no. 4401, among other related industries and end-users.
