U.S. imports of sawdust, wood waste & scrap (agglomerated, other than pellets) (HS 440139) totaled $2.9M in July 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Importers of Sawdust, Wood Waste & Scrap (Agglomerated, Other Than Pellets) paid $29K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $110K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataAgglomerated sawdust and wood waste — including artificial fire logs composed of wax and sawdust — occupy a nuanced classification space within heading 4401, with five distinct 10-digit tariff lines covering agglomerated forms other than pellets. Canada is the leading US import source, followed by Germany and China. The artificial fire log line (4401392000) is commercially distinct from industrial agglomerated waste forms and may attract different end-use scrutiny; importers should ensure the correct 10-digit line is declared based on composition and form, as misclassification between agglomerated and non-agglomerated waste can affect duty treatment and statistical reporting.

Artificial fire logs are specifically composed of wax combined with sawdust or wood residues, molded into a log shape for consumer use in fireplaces. Other agglomerated sawdust products (such as industrial fuel blocks) that do not contain wax as a binding agent would be classified under the appropriate NESOI or specific agglomerated line rather than 4401392000. Composition documentation from the manufacturer is the key supporting evidence.
Heading 440131 covers wood pellets specifically, and 440132 covers wood briquettes. Heading 440139 captures all other agglomerated forms of sawdust and wood waste — including agglomerated logs and other shapes — that do not meet the specific physical definitions of pellets or briquettes. When a product's form is ambiguous, importers should obtain a binding ruling from CBP to avoid misclassification.
