Last updated: July 2026 dataCompressed wood pellets — manufactured from sawdust, shavings, or other wood residues and standardized by diameter and calorific value — are a widely traded solid biofuel used in residential heating appliances and industrial power generation. Canada is the dominant US import supplier under this heading, with Mexico also a notable source. Classified under a single line (4401310000), pellets enter duty-free at column-1 rates; however, buyers sourcing for regulated energy markets should confirm ENplus or equivalent certification, as quality-grade standards (A1, A2, B) directly affect combustion performance and appliance warranty compliance.

ENplus certification (grades A1, A2, and B) is the most widely recognized international standard for residential and commercial heating pellets, covering ash content, moisture, calorific value, and mechanical durability. US importers supplying appliance dealers or retail channels should request ENplus or equivalent certification documentation from suppliers to meet appliance manufacturer requirements.
Wood pellets are cylindrical, typically 6–8 mm in diameter and up to 40 mm long, produced by extrusion under high pressure. Wood briquettes are larger, block- or pillow-shaped compressed forms. The physical form and production method are the key classification criteria; if a product falls between these descriptions, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable.
