Last updated: August 2026 dataHardwood fuel wood — cut from broadleaf species and shipped as logs, billets, twigs, or faggots — enters the US under a single 10-digit line (4401120000) with a free column-1 rate, making duty exposure minimal for most origins. Latvia and Canada are the leading suppliers, with Estonia also a notable source, reflecting the Baltic and North American hardwood timber belts that produce surplus roundwood for energy markets. Importers should verify USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, as raw wood in log or billet form is subject to plant pest and invasive-species scrutiny at the port of entry. Moisture content and species documentation are increasingly relevant for buyers supplying biomass energy facilities.

Yes. USDA APHIS requires a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization for raw wood in log or billet form, and may impose additional treatment or debarking requirements depending on the species and country of origin to prevent introduction of invasive pests.
Moisture content does not change the HTS classification under 440112, but it is commercially significant: buyers and customs brokers should confirm the wood has not been processed to a degree (e.g., kiln-dried and dimensioned) that would reclassify it as sawn wood or another processed product rather than fuel wood.
