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

HS code 440149 covers a crucial segment of the wood and forestry industry, encompassing the trade of wood for fuel, as well as sawdust, wood waste, and scrap that have not been agglomerated. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing a sustainable source of energy and raw materials for various downstream industries, from construction to manufacturing.

Production process

The production techniques involved in this industry are relatively straightforward. Wood for fuel is typically harvested from forests or obtained as a byproduct of sawmilling and other wood processing activities. Sawdust, wood waste, and scrap are collected from these same sources. The materials are then sorted, processed, and prepared for transportation and distribution to end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include standing timber, logging equipment, and transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials from the source to processing facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to carry out the harvesting, collection, and processing of the wood-based products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are wood for fuel, as well as sawdust, wood waste, and scrap. These materials are consumed by a range of other industries, including 440122 Wood; non-coniferous, in the rough, whether or not stripped of bark or sapwood, or roughly squared, 440130 Wood; in the rough, treated with paint, stains, creosote or other preservatives, and 440190 Wood; waste and scrap, not agglomerated, among others.
