Last updated: July 2026 dataHardwood chips and particles — produced from broadleaf species including eucalyptus, oak, and poplar — serve the pulp, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and biomass energy sectors. France and Chile are the leading US import sources under this heading, with Portugal also supplying meaningful volumes, reflecting the eucalyptus plantation industries of South America and Southern Europe. Classified under a single line (4401220000), the product enters duty-free under column-1 rates, so competitive advantage turns on delivered cost, species suitability for end-use, and compliance with USDA APHIS phytosanitary entry requirements.

Classification hinges on the botanical origin of the wood: chips from broadleaf (angiosperm) trees fall under 440122, while chips from needle-bearing (gymnosperm) conifers fall under 440121. Importers should retain species documentation or mill certificates from the exporter to support the declared classification if CBP requests verification.
Both countries have large-scale eucalyptus and hardwood plantation industries oriented toward export markets. Chile's proximity to US West Coast ports and France's established forestry export infrastructure make them cost-competitive sources, particularly for pulp-grade hardwood chips.
