HS Code 440131

HS code 440131 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms; wood in chips or particles; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms : Sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms : Wood pellets". The first two digits (44) are the chapter — Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal — and digits 3-4 (4401) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 440131 include wood pellets, pellet fuel, biomass pellets and similar items matching wood pellets. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (440131) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
