U.S. exports of Sawdust, Not Agglomerated (HS 440141) totaled $253K in August 2026.
Last updated: August 2026 dataLoose, non-agglomerated sawdust — a byproduct of lumber and wood-processing operations — is classified under a single tariff line (4401410000) and serves end markets ranging from animal bedding and horticultural mulch to particleboard feedstock and biomass fuel. Canada is effectively the sole significant US import supplier under this heading, a reflection of the integrated North American lumber industry and the short-haul economics of shipping a low-density, high-volume material. Importers should be aware that USDA APHIS may require phytosanitary documentation depending on the species and processing history of the sawdust.

Sawdust is a low-value, high-bulk material for which freight cost is the primary economic constraint. Canada's integrated cross-border lumber industry generates large volumes of sawdust at mills near the US border, making it the only origin where landed cost is typically competitive. Long-haul ocean freight from other regions generally makes non-agglomerated sawdust uneconomical to import.
USDA APHIS requirements for sawdust from Canada depend on the wood species and whether the material has been heat-treated or otherwise processed. Under USMCA, some wood residue products benefit from streamlined procedures, but importers should confirm current APHIS requirements for the specific species involved, as certain high-risk species or origins may still require documentation or treatment.
