HS v2022 Code: 440122

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

HS code 440122 covers the classification of non-coniferous wood in the form of chips or particles, primarily used as fuel. This industry plays a vital role in the global energy and forestry sectors, providing a renewable and sustainable source of biomass energy. The production and trade of this wood product contribute significantly to the broader economy, supporting industries such as 440121 Wood; in chips or particles, coniferous, 440131 Wood; in chips or particles, bamboo, and 440139 Wood; in chips or particles, other than coniferous or bamboo.

Production process

The production of wood chips and particles classified under HS code 440122 typically involves the mechanical processing of non-coniferous timber. This process often begins with the harvesting and debarking of logs, followed by chipping or grinding the wood into smaller, uniform pieces. The resulting chips or particles may then be further processed, such as through drying or agglomeration, to improve their energy density and handling characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of wood chips and particles under HS code 440122 are non-coniferous timber resources, such as hardwood logs and branches. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the chipping, grinding, and processing of the raw wood material. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are also necessary to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

The main output of the industry covered by HS code 440122 is non-coniferous wood chips and particles, which are primarily used as a renewable fuel source for energy generation, heating, and industrial processes. These wood products may be consumed by industries classified 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.
