Importers of Wood Charcoal (Non-Bamboo, Non-Shell, Non-Nut), Whether or Not Agglomerated paid $241K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.4% on $2.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMexico dominates US imports of this category, with Paraguay and Indonesia also among the leading suppliers — a geographic spread that reflects both proximity and tropical hardwood availability. Tariff line 4402900100 captures wood charcoal excluding bamboo, shell, and nut charcoal, whether loose or pressed into briquettes. Importers should note that country-of-origin documentation is critical here because charcoal derived from protected or illegally harvested timber can trigger Lacey Act enforcement, requiring declarations of the wood species and harvest origin. The heading is widely traded for barbecue, industrial, and metallurgical end uses.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The Lacey Act requires importers to declare the genus and species of the wood used and the country of harvest. Charcoal made from illegally sourced timber — regardless of processing — can be subject to seizure and civil or criminal penalties, so supply-chain due diligence on wood sourcing is essential.
Both lump and agglomerated (briquette) forms fall under HTS 4402900100 as long as the base material is wood other than bamboo, shell, or nut. The agglomerated/non-agglomerated distinction does not create a separate tariff line at the 10-digit level for this residual category; classification turns instead on the excluded materials (bamboo, shell, nut charcoal have their own lines).
